What happens when an anvil drops on a car from 45 meters

From a height of 45 meters, a massive anvil plummets toward a parked car, turning a routine object into a physics experiment of catastrophic proportions. The collision unleashes enormous kinetic ...
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) recently set a new record, as CERN announced that the world's most powerful accelerator had achieved the highest-energy collisions of heavy atomic nuclei. The ...
The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) announced that its Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has collided lead ions at an energy level nearly twice as high as that of any previous experiments ...
A 660-pound steel fist drops from a height of 45 meters onto a solid 4-inch tungsten cube. Despite tungsten’s legendary hardness, the sheer mass and velocity of the fist unleash an enormous amount of ...
On target: time sequence of a glass projectile striking a dust target. (Courtesy: Hiroaki Katsuragi and Jürgen Blum/Phys. Rev. Lett.) By dropping tiny projectiles into clumps of dust, physicists in ...
