Archimedes was possibly the world's greatest scientist — at least the greatest in the classical age. He was a physicist, mathematician, astronomer, inventor and engineer. Many of his inventions ...

The Archimedes Palimpsest resurfaces in Paris and sells for $2 million at a Christie's of New York auction. 1999-present The Palimpsest is loaned to the Walters Art Gallery in Baltimore, Maryland.

Besides the Archimedes screw, there is the Archimedes principle, the law of buoyancy that states the upward force on a submerged object equals the weight of the liquid displaced.

You might be familiar with the never-ending number π (pi), which is most relevant for studying circles. But you might not know much about the genius guy who first calculated pi: Archimedes of ...

(On the basis of Archimedes’ principle, the markings had been calibrated to register the weight of the water displaced, easily calculated from water’s known weight by volume: 62.4 Ibs. per cu ...

LAKEWOOD, Ohio -- Simply put, Archimedes’ Principle states that if the weight of the water displaced is less than the weight of an object, the object will sink. Otherwise, the object will float ...

Archimedes of Syracuse (287-212 BCE) is known for his discoveries and inventions in geometry, mechanics and hydrostatics. He is arguably most famous for the legend that he exclaimed “Eureka ...

The popular competition is physics teacher Dave Hille’s third-quarter project studying Archimedes’ Principle. This year, 170 junior and senior physics students entered 43 boats into the regatta.

So, that is just plain water. If I am careful, I can make that thin aluminum disk stay on the surface of the water. This is not the same as floating in Archimedes principle. It is different. This ...
