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

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

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 ...

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 ...
