THIS book, prepared for use in the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, is suitable for candidates for engineering degrees who have already pursued laboratory courses in physics. “Each experiment has ...

(Left) 3-D printed parts provide the stands for the aluminum globes in PPPL's Planeterrella, a device that simulates Northern Lights. (Right) This 3-D printed part replaced the meter's original handle ...

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 ...

Physicists often find thrifty, ingenious ways to reuse equipment and resources. What do you do with 800 square feet of scintillator from an old physics experiment? Cut it up and give it to high ...

Some fusion machines chase brute-force power. Wendelstein 7-X chose elegance—3D magnetic geometry sculpted to tame plasma for ...

Students in the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) program are getting the hands-on training they need to apply theory from their classes to real-world engineering. This is made possible by a ...

This article is an extended version of the article “The double-slit experiment” that appeared in the September 2002 issue of Physics World (p15). It has been further extended to include three letters ...

Engineering physics blends concepts from engineering, physics, and math in an effort to bridge the gap between theoretical science and practical engineering. Engineering physicists focus on research ...

Scientists have produced the firmest evidence yet of so-called sterile neutrinos, mysterious particles that pass through matter without interacting with it at all. The first hints these elusive ...
