For many, it's the start of a new semester of physics labs. That means there are new students in that introductory course. Of course, no one is really 100 percent ready to start these labs---but ...

The Physics Laboratory of the Ecole Normale Supérieure (LPENS), created on January 1, 2019, is a laboratory for interdisciplinary fundamental research in physics and its interfaces. The scientific ...

The virtual lab is kind of a “flight simulator” or quantum physics. There are programs that can guide students through concepts like delocalized complex molecules, with virtual experiments similar to ...

A virtual laboratory under development at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro aims to let students experiment with physics concepts without physically being in a lab. Computer simulations ...

(Phys.org) —Students at West Windsor-Plainsboro High School South in West Windsor, N.J., were enthralled as they watched and controlled a glowing pink plasma on a screen in their classroom through a ...

Modern scientific equipment can be staggeringly expensive. Take, for example, an instrument like a NanoSIMS probe, a instrument that lets scientists pick materials apart a few atoms at a time. There's ...

The principal tool in the Atmospheric Physics Lab is a Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer. Because the OH stretch (which is an IR active transition) in the water molecule is particularly ...

The editors of Physics of Fluids (American Institute of Physics) have formally recognised the scientific excellence of a study led by Professor Dimitris Drikakis and his team at the University of ...

The scientific community long assumed that to understand how lightning works, one needed a ...
