Diagram of football spinning
// S&T Highlights
A team of researchers resolves the paradox of the tight spiraling of the tip of a perfectly thrown football around the trajectory of its parabolic path of flight.
Big Bang Demo
// Fun with Science
Water is decomposed into its gaseous components and then reformed in this explosive demonstration. In this experiment, electrolysis of water and the combustion of hydrogen and oxygen are used to demonstrate chemical reactions.
Artist's conception of neutron star
// S&T Highlights
Nuclear scattering experiments suggest how neutron stars grow.
Space Demo
// Fun with Science
The surprising strength of air pressure is revealed by a series of simple experiments using a vacuum chamber and marshmallows to mimic the effects of entering the vacuum of space.
Four researchers view screen
