The fact that pairs of moving pendulums can become synchronized was first observed by the great Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens back in the 17th century. But as Jonatan Pena Ramirez and Henk ...

As if by magic, seemingly independent pendulum clocks can come together to tick simultaneously and in synchrony. The phenomenon of "self-organized synchronization" frequently occurs in nature and ...

Although it's not always so simple to set up, a ballistic pendulum is a perfect tool for introductory physics. The basic idea is to take something that shoots an object (we use a ball launcher, but it ...

One of the problems with the MythBusters show is that it's only 1 hour long. This means that it leaves many questions unanswered. However, when life give you unanswered questions - you get to answer ...

Almost 350 years ago, Dutch inventor and scientist Christiaan Huygens observed that two pendulum clocks hanging from a wall would synchronise their swing over time. What causes the phenomenon has led ...

In this video I show you how an inverted pendulum works. The physics behind the gravity defying pendulums requires complex equations, but has a simple explanation. Iran is returning to nuclear talks ...

What we have here is better, more cunning and a damn sight more beautiful than magic. It's a pendulum dance. A team at Harvard built this device. It's got 15 free-swinging pendulums, each a different ...
