Not often do astronomers come across a tear in the tissue of a galaxy a scab so big it might span one-fifth of the Milky Way.

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

With a clever design, researchers have solved eddy-current damping in macroscopic levitating systems, paving the way for a ...

A new experiment confirms that angular momentum conservation holds even when a single photon is split into two.

Physicists have measured both the momentum and position of a particle without breaking Heisenberg’s iconic uncertainty principle. In quantum mechanics, particles don’t have fixed properties the way ...

Using all-atom simulations of model mycomembranes, the work reports compelling structural insights into how α-mycolic acids and outer leaflet lipids (PDIM and PAT) shape membrane organisation. The ...

Abstract: This work presents a high-sensitivity angular displacement sensor using microstrip technology. The sensor configuration includes a stator that incorporates a quarter-wavelength angular ...

Abstract: This paper demonstrates a highly sensitive digital readout method for angular displacement measurement using a two-dimensional transmission diffraction grating and a smartphone CMOS camera.
