Common simplified explanations for aerodynamic lift, such as those relying solely on Bernoulli's principle or Newton's laws, are incomplete, and theories like "equal transit time" are scientifically ...

Light has been put to work generating the same force that makes airplanes fly, a study appearing online December 5 in Nature Photonics shows. With the right design, a uniform stream of light has ...

Without the aerodynamic forces of lift and drag, aircraft would be unable to fly, wind turbines would not spin, and countless other machines that we depend on every day would not work. What, exactly, ...
