A Foucault pendulum is a simple device for observing the Earth's rotation. While such pendulums have been around for more than 150 years and are a staple of the modern science museum, they are ...

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 ...

The gently moving jewel swaying inside the new Ernest E. Tschannen Science Complex is a Foucault pendulum – shiny and slow-swinging, it is a piece of old-world technology the likes of which have kept ...

Shiny metal balls swing hypnotically from museum ceilings worldwide, knocking over tiny objects arranged in a circle on the floor. These Foucault pendulums elegantly demonstrate that Earth is spinning ...

Once upon a time, you were probably on an elementary school field trip at a science museum or an observatory. Just before lunch, your teacher had the class stand in a circle around an enormous weight ...

The 350-year-old mystery of why pendulum clocks hanging from the same wall synchronize over time may finally be solved, scientists say. In 1665, Dutch physicist Christiaan Huygens, inventor of the ...
