A hands-on physics lab exploring how to plot electric fields and electric potential. Visualize how charges influence space ...

We all use antennas for radios, cell phones, and WiFi. Understanding how they work, though, can take a lifetime of study. If you are rusty on the basic physics of why an antenna radiates, have a look ...

Understand how to calculate the electric field of a dipole using the far field approximation. A key concept in ...

Fleeting electron-hole pairs are giving scientists a new window into optimizing light-emitting devices (LEDs). Using quantum ...

As the Parker Solar Probe ventures closer to the sun, we are learning new things about our home star. In a new study, physicists led by the University of Iowa report the first definitive measurements ...

Two hit hypothesis: ionizing radiation delivered after exposure to microsecond pulsed electric fields amplified cell alterations in terms of reactive oxygen species, apoptosis, senescence and ...

Interesting formations: an example of droplet shapes that are produced when an electric field is applied to an oil mixture. (Courtesy: Aalto University) When a simple system of two liquids is driven ...

These are just a few of the demonstrations of physics effects you'll find at New Mexico State University's "Physics Fun Day." If you have a sweet tooth, try the ice cream made with the help of liquid ...

Come one, come all. See an electron gun demonstration, watch what happens when atmospheric pressure drops in a vacuum chamber and explore the solar system. These are just a few of ...
