Ensuring that different clocks are giving the same time is crucial to enable electronic systems to talk to each other. But what is the cost of this synchronisation at the thermodynamic level? To ...
Every room in Ray Hall’s home features some kind of science toy. Some of the Fresno State physics professor’s vast array of toys are simple, like tippy tops that, when spun, suddenly flip to spin on ...
Cats are innate masters of physics. They can leap extraordinary distances to climb things or while hunting. They have split second reflexes to catch their prey. And apparently, they can’t get enough ...
THE Ateneo de Manila University Department of Physics’ Photonics Laboratory’s polarimeter setup, built mostly out of LEGO® toy bricks, polarizing film, and cheap off-the-shelf electrical components.
