Swiss scientist, Daniel Bernoulli (1700-1782), demonstrated that, in most cases, the pressure in a liquid or gas decreases as the liquid or gas moves faster. This explains in part why a wing lifts ...

For example, you can use Bernoulli's principle to design a wing that generates lift by creating a pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the wing. This can make an airplane ...

For a 'street science' experiment I approached holidaymakers with a ping-pong ball and a funnel, to show them a classic and counterintuitive science demonstration. It involves something known as ...
