WXMI — In our science experiment today, we look at a disappearing coin trick, which really is no trick at all. It illustrates density and refraction. Some things are more dense (or heavier) than other ...
Recent progress in kilojoule-scale high-intensity lasers has opened up new areas of research in radiography, laboratory astrophysics, high-energy-density physics, and fast-ignition (FI) laser fusion.
GRAND RAPIDS — What is density? Why is it important to us? In a previous experiment we learned about buoyancy with an orange sinking or floating and now we are going to learn about density with an egg ...
Artificial intelligence software is designing novel experimental protocols that improve upon the work of human physicists, although the humans are still “doing a lot of baby-sitting.” ...
Paul Sutter is an astrophysicist at The Ohio State University and the chief scientist at COSI Science Center. Sutter is also host of Ask a Spaceman, RealSpace and COSI Science Now. Our modern ...
What is the purpose of prescribed practical P4? To investigate experimentally the relationship between the mass and volume of liquids and regular solids, and analyse and interpret the data gathered.
Optical Surfaces Ltd has delivered a 305 mm diameter spherical mirror to the GSI Helmholtz Zentrum für Schwerionenforschung in Germany for use in novel particle ...
New scientific results confirm an anomaly seen in previous experiments, which may point to an as-yet-unconfirmed new elementary particle, the sterile neutrino, or indicate the need for a new ...
In the research field of the history and philosophy of physics, Professor Emeritus Allan Franklin studies the long-term impacts of physics discoveries on the scientific community and the greater ...
