Rotating bodies often move in surprising ways with flips and wobbles that reveal the hidden rules of physics.

Blur benefit: Images on the left were taken by a camera that was moving during exposure. Images on the right used the researchers’ algorithm to increase their resolution with information captured by ...

Speed is a measure of how fast an object is moving. Calculate speed using the speed equation - speed = distance divided by time. The speed equation can be rearranged to find distance travelled and ...

Pressure is a measure of how concentrated a force is. The amount of pressure exerted on an object depends on the force applied and the surface area it is spread over. Force diagrams and resultant ...

Sensitive measurements: Ring laser at the Geodetic Observatory Wettzell in Bavaria. (Courtesy: Astrid Eckert / TUM) As the Earth moves through space, it wobbles. Researchers in Germany have now ...

Abstract: This work investigates the impact of motion estimation errors on passive inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) images of rotating targets when the backprojection algorithm (BPA) is ...
