This article reviews why efforts to popularize particle physics are so important, offers advice on maximizing the impact and minimizing the effort involved in your own outreach endeavors, and supplies examples of existing effective programs. Readers are urged to make the 2005 World Year of Physics ...
For the better part of the last century, the most accepted explanation for why the same quantum particle may behave in different ways was the Copenhagen interpretation. Although it's getting a run for its money from the Many-Worlds interpretation lately, many quantum physicists still assume the ...
Here's how it all comes together to make a copy: For the photocopier to work its magic, the surface of the photoconductive material must first be coated with a layer of positively charged ions by the corona wire. When you hit the Start button, a strong lamp moves across the inside of ...
The type of energy they require to be energized The color of the visible light that they produce The length of time that they glow after being energized (known as the persistence of the phosphor) To make a glow-in-the-dark toy, what you want is a phosphor that is energized by normal ...
The fastest way to find the density of an object is, of course, to use our density calculator. To make the calculation, you'll need to know a few other values to start with. Make a note of the object's weight and volume. After typing these values into the density calculator, it wil...
Why wasn’t this a problem for understanding the physics of metallic solids? Landau solved this mystery by proposing that a strongly interacting system of fermions can be mapped to an ideal system consisting of “quasi-particles” without interaction, or rather with an interaction weak enough to ...
To carve such fine details, you'd need small, sharp, precise tools smaller than the patterns you wanted to make. If all you had were a sledgehammer and a spade, carving intricate furniture would be impossible. The basic rule is that the tools you use have to be smaller than the things...
Gift: an ordinary person sacrifices to aid someone else. The lead may not be aware of his own heroism until he rises to the occasion. Regardless which you choose, make every word count. Your primary goal should be to grab your reader by the throat from the get-go and never let go. ...
To make a finer point on their brushes, the girls would lick them. Sometimes to break up the monotony, the girls would paint their teeth and lips and turn off the lights. Although managers regularly tested the girls for radioactivity, the women never received the results of these tests. In...
