With just an iPad, students in any classroom across the world could soon reimagine the ordinary diagrams in any physics textbook—transforming these static images into 3D simulations that run, leap or ...

Model electric flux through a cube using GlowScript. This short visualizes field vectors, surface normals, and how flux adds across each face—making Gauss’s Law feel intuitive with a clean interactive ...

The effects of the radiation environment on the instruments of the XMM-Newton spacecraft were modeled with GEANT4 prior to launch by the European Space Agency in 1999. XMM-Newton carries the most ...

While they don’t give the physical thrill of a real one, model roller coasters are always fun to watch. However, they actually make a poor analog of a full-sized ride, as gravitational force and ...

During our academic journey, there are subjects we enjoy more and others we find quite difficult. It’s no wonder that we often seek ways to better understand the tough concepts of the difficult ...

Researchers from the Faculty of Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made a significant discovery regarding ...
