A macroscopic quantum pendulum has now been created by confining a polariton condensate in a parabolic optical trap. Spectacular images of multiparticle wavefunctions are obtained by purely ...

Pendulum, let it go The mass only moves in the direction of the theta axis. So, I only care about forces in this direction. The tension from the string is always perpendicular to the direction of ...

The aim of this paper is to give a self-reflective account of the building of Galileo's pendulum in order to discover what were the practical contingencies of building and using the pendulum for ...

In this captivating DIY tutorial, you'll learn how to create mesmerizing pendulum waves that captivate the eye with their ...

Physics: Toward a practical nuclear pendulum Date: January 27, 2017 Source: Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet Muenchen (LMU) Summary: For the first time, researchers have measured the lifetime of an ...

Cosmologists have calculated that a new force associated with dark energy should become apparent at relatively short length scales – about 85 micrometres. It turns out that one of the best places to ...

This module expands on the capabilities for teaching using a Pendulum. A pendulum by itself can provide valuable insight into harmonic motion and the relationship between frequency and period. It can ...

The Smithsonian Institution – America’s national museum – once also had a Foucault’s pendulum on display, but it was removed to make way for the restoration project of the Star-spangled Banner, the ...
