Soljacic (Marin Soljacic‚ an assistant professor in MIT’s Department of Physics and Research Laboratory of Electronics) often forgets to recharge his cell phone‚ and when it is about to die‚ it emits an unpleasant noise. "Needless to say‚ this always happens in the middle of the night‚" he said. "So‚ one night‚ at 3 a.m.‚ it occurred to me: Wouldn’t it be great if this thing charged itself?" He began to wonder if any of the physics principles he knew of‚ could turn into new ways of transmitting energy

astrophysicist at the Goddard Space Flight Center‚ I look to Johns Hopkins to engage my enthusiasm with research institutions like the Applied Physics Laboratory and the Center for Astrophysical Science. Where my college search left me faced with so many small‚ lackluster physics programs‚ Johns Hopkins shines with the delightfully extensive Henry A. Rowland Department of Physics and Astronomy. As my boyfriend and I have an involved discussion about the incompatibility of an omniscient God with libertarian free

Doppler was born November 29‚ 1803 Salzburg‚ Austria. Doppler’s Father was a stonemason. Doppler studied physics at Vienna University of Technology and University of Vienna. In 1847 he accepted a professorship in mathematics‚ physics‚ and mechanics at the Academy of Mines and Forests in the Slovakian town Banska Stiavnica. In 1850 he was appointed head of the Institute for Experimental Physics at the University of Vienna. The Doppler Effect- founded in 1842 the Doppler effect taught that sound waves

for their accomplishments had the odds going against them. They had every reason to fail‚ to give up‚ yet they persisted. One great example of this is Isaac Newton‚ who was a very interesting man. He was brilliant in the fields of Philosophy‚ Physics‚ Mathematics‚ Astronomy‚ and Science. Isaac Newton is credited as one of the great minds of the 17th century Scientific Revolution (bio. Isaac Newton 1). Although he was one of the greatest scientists to ever live‚ he had many obstacles to overcome

for the reader if you have an idea about what the Quantum Theory really actually is and how it works. The actual definition of the Quantum Theory is the subatomic and atomic behavior of matter and energy explained‚ and which is the basis of modern physics. While Alice is wondering around trying to find out why everything in Quantumland seems to be unbelievable and not very realistic‚ she comes to the Mechanics Institute. There she meets a classical mechanic and a Quantum Mechanic who are both in

As a student‚ who studies Physics‚ I am curious about various physic phenomena‚ and always willing to see the newest and the most mysterious phenomenon. This was my motivation to leave Vietnam and Russia to join Erasmus Mundus program Nanoscience & Nanotechnology to learn more about physics‚ quantum physics‚ nanoscience and nanotechnology. My curiosity and love for physics lead me to concentrate mainly on mesoscopic physics‚ quantum coherence transport of electrons‚ quantum dots and graphene. In

Stereotypes and Portrayals Throughout the years‚ our human race has struggled with equality within our communities. The struggle has not been limited between race and gender but also people with disabilities. The portrayal of people with disabilities to perform certain jobs or achieve the things that others without disabilities can achieve has become more visible to the public eye. It stems from our culture and continues to float around partly because it is constantly reproduced through
