Despite hunting for it for decades, scientists have so far been unable to detect any definitive signs of dark matter. But a new detector design, using an array of billions of tiny pendulums, could ...

In 1665, Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens noticed something strange. Two swinging pendulum clocks were found to eventually synchronize when hung together, and it wasn’t until 2002 that the mystery ...

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 ...

For this project I show how to make make a pendulum wave, an interesting science/physics experiment where a series of pendulums is measured so that each one moves slightly faster than the one before ...

Introduction Did you know that playground swings can provide a good lesson in physics—as well as lots of fun? The back-and-forth motion of a swing is an example of a pendulum. We see pendulums in ...

A set of 3 pendulums hung from the same support. Two of the pendulums have the same string length but different mass bobs to observe the effect of mass. Two of the pendulum have the same mass bobs but ...
