For decades scientists have been trying to solve Feynman's Sprinkler Problem: How does a sprinkler running in reverse work? Through a series of experiments, a team of mathematicians has figured out ...

Transfer of math, physics, and communication skills into the entry-level photonics workforce, NSF Award 1432578, Sept 2014 – Aug 2019 Exploring factors that shape education & workplace training on ...

In this video, we’ll break down how to solve physics problems involving the motion of a 2D spring. Learn about the forces at play, how to model the spring’s movement, and the key concepts behind ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Progress in the foundations of physics is moving slowly. And yet it moves. Today I look at the five biggest problems in physics, what their status is, and how long it will ...

The image illustrates the experimental set-up: (a) Cut-away schematic of the floating sprinkler, (b) Flow control apparatus operating in suction mode, and (c) Flow imaging with a laser sheet ...
