In 1665, Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens noticed something strange. Two swinging pendulum clocks were found to eventually synchronize when hung together, and it wasn’t until 2002 that the mystery ...

This half-pendulum half-harp musical instrument is the creation of New York based interactive design company, Pattern Studio. Dubbed "The Gravity Harp," it was commissioned by Icelandic musician Bjork ...

Despite hunting for it for decades, scientists have so far been unable to detect any definitive signs of dark matter. But a new detector design, using an array of billions of tiny pendulums, could ...

Using a virtual pendulum and its real-world counterpart, scientists have created the first mixed reality state in a physical system. Through bidirectional instantaneous coupling, each pendulum "sensed ...

The fact that pairs of moving pendulums can become synchronized was first observed by the great Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens back in the 17th century. But as Jonatan Pena Ramirez and Henk ...

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 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 ...

What we have here is better, more cunning and a damn sight more beautiful than magic. It's a pendulum dance. A team at Harvard built this device. It's got 15 free-swinging pendulums, each a different ...
