In a popular YouTube video by the channel Veritasium, the following question is posed: Imagine you have a giant circuit consisting of a battery, a switch, a light bulb, and two wires which are each 30…
In this article, we present a simple, inexpensive, and effective method for measuring the capacitor charge and discharge processes using a light-emitting diode (LED) and the light meter of a smartphon…
Measuring instruments are vital for obtaining accurate data in various fields, including scientific research, engineering, and manufacturing. However, data acquisition can be challenging, particularly…
Entanglement, a phenomenon that has puzzled scientists since its discovery, has been extensively studied by many researchers through both theoretical and experimental aspect of both quantum informatio…
We describe a set-up for measurement of the absolute zero by Johnson-Nyquist thermal noise which can be performed within a week in every high-school or university. Necessary electronic components and …
The high public attention given to quantum computing shows that it is perceived as an interesting topic. We want to utilize this motivating effect for the teaching and learning of quantum physics. Spe…
To describe the development and implementation of virtual vascular surgery rotations among 6 integrated vascular surgery programs. A collaborative teleconference retrospectively discussing 6 independe…
The study of viscosity, in the area of fluid physics at a university level, is of great importance because of the various applications that are presented in the different fields of engineering. In thi…
In this paper, we designed and experimentally studied several systems of standard coaxial cables with different impedances which mimic the operation of so called photonic structures like coupled photo…
In this work, we present the results of a research in which we aimed to evidence obstacles and advances in pre-service teachers' conceptualization on a subject involving elementary Quantum Mechanics. …
Smartphones may be seen as miniature toolboxs to perform Physics experiments. In this paper, we present three different "optics workbenches" mainly based on the light meter of a smartphone. One is aim…
When assessing student work, graders will often find that some students will leave one or more problems blank on assessments. Since there is no work shown, the grader has no means to evaluate the stud…
We present a new teaching and outreach activity based around the construction of a three-dimensional chart of isotopes using LEGO$^{\circledR}$ bricks. The activity, \emph{Binding Blocks}, demonstrate…
An experiment is described that enables students to understand the properties of atmospheric extinction due to Rayleigh scattering. The experiment requires the use of red, green and blue lasers attach…
Common Objects like a comb or a pen get charged when rubbed against something like human hair or garment clothing. Charged objects exhibit noticeable attractive or repulsive force lifting small pieces…
The physics instruction at UC Davis for life science majors takes place in a long-standing reformed large-enrollment physics course in which the discussion/lab instructors (primarily graduate student …
Psychologists have long known that an expert in a field not only knows significantly more individual facts/skills than a novice but also has these facts/skills organized into a mental hierarchy that l…
This paper describes our large reformed introductory physics course at UC Davis, which bioscience students have been taking since 1996. The central feature of this course is a focus on sense-making by…
The last Nobel Prize of the Millenium in Physics has been awarded jointly to Professor Gerardus 't Hooft of the University of Utrecht in Holland and his thesis advisor Professor Emeritus Martinus J.G.…
