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 ...

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 ...

ITHACA, N.Y. – A Cornell University research team has employed a variation of a theory first used to predict the collective actions of electrons in quantum mechanical systems to evaluate basketball ...

If you’ve played basketball before, you probably know that most shots are performed overarm, with your arm going over your head as you shoot. Well, a new study says underarm throwing – or “granny ...

A basketball was dropped from nearly 460 feet off a dam. One was released normally, the other with backspin. The difference was immediate and dramatic. Instead of falling straight down, the spinning ...
