A physics theory that's proven useful to predict the crowd behavior of molecules and fruit flies also seems to work in a very different context—a basketball court. A model based on density functional ...

A Cornell research team has employed a variation of a theory first used to predict the collective actions of electrons in quantum mechanical systems to a much taller, human system—the National ...

In a way, a game like basketball is a physics geek's delight. It's a playground where you can apply physics principles to try and get some added insight to the game. You've got the interplay of ...
