Meet the Star of the World Cup: The Ball

The Washington Post dives into the physics behind the new soccer ball that will debut at the World Cup. The Adidas Brazuca ball takes the place of the Jabulani ball, which was introduced for the 2010 World Cup and was generally panned by the players for not having a true flight. Engineers believe they’ve fixed that by adding polyurethane nubs to the surface of the Brazuca.
