Mark Hindmarch talks about our understanding of how we explain the immediate aftermath of the Big Bang.

The association of DNA with water is known since the deciphering of its double helical structure by X-Ray diffraction in 1953 (Watson, Crick, Wilkins and Franklin). However the power of DNA for organizing water seems to go far beyond the direct fill....

Standing spinwaves and surface waves in layered magnetic structures can be used for the detection and quantitative evaluation of interlayer exchange coupling (IEC). Using this method antiferromagnetic IEC has been found in Fe/Cr/Fe layered structure....

The image of light waves as oscillating electromagnetic fields explains virtually all the phenomena of traditional optics.  An awareness that these waves are somehow subdivided into quanta has however been with us since the early 20th century.  The....

The Doppler Effect and some examples

FSU undergrad, Daniel Stribling, investigates the intimate relationship between light and color. Daniel discusses the history, physics, and theory of light to engage young learners and encourage them to be excited about science.

Abbie describes why bridges must be designed to counteract the effects of unwanted vibrations.

The UK coast is constantly being bombarded by sea waves.  There is a massive amount of power available from these waves.  Jonathan describes three different ways of generating electrical power from water waves.
