Many of us have heard the sounds of overhead power lines from time to time. While most of these sounds are due to electrical activities, sometimes, we can hear sounds from these cables created by the wind. The question is, can we use the sound emitted by a cable of an overhead power line to …

Practical Applications of Quantum Foundations Quantum foundations have been a topic of interest for several decades as they try to describe how quantum mechanics work fundamentally. Quantum mechanics is a theory that explains the behavior of small particles at a sub-atomic level. It has been successful in describing a lot of phenomena within physics, but …

Measuring the energy loss from a collision with a surface can be tricky, especially when it comes to running tracks. A runner’s performance depends heavily on the surface of the track they’re running on. From cinder to rubberized surfaces, different types of tracks produce different levels of energy loss. Trying to rig up a system …

Understanding the Implications of Running a Motor Above Its Rated Frequency Running a motor above its rated frequency – be it 140Hz, 250Hz or any other frequency, can have a significant impact on its performance, functionality, and lifespan. While there is plenty of material available on the web about running a 50/60Hz 3-phase induction motor …

Magnetic Field Resistance Material: Are There Any? Have you ever wondered if there is a material that can block magnetic fields? Perhaps you want to position two permanent magnets close together without any interference. In this article, we will explore the concept of magnetic field resistance materials and whether they exist. Understanding Magnetic Fields Magnetic …

Introduction In this article, we will explore the phenomenon of shock wave propagation and how it differs from ordinary waves. We will also explain why shock waves can travel faster than ordinary waves in the same medium. What is a Shock Wave? A shock wave is a type of propagating disturbance that carries energy and …

Choosing a career path can be daunting, especially when you’re not sure what you want to study. It is important to choose a field that you are passionate about and can see yourself enjoying for many years to come. This article aims to help you understand the options available for physics graduates and the job …

Applications of Physics Beyond QFT When we talk about physics, we tend to think about the basic principles that we learn in high school or college. Classical physics, relativity, quantum physics, and quantum field theories are the four pillars of physics that are widely known and studied in academia. However, there are other physical theories …

Have you ever noticed that when you pour soda over ice, it starts to fizz? It can be quite a spectacle, with bubbles rising rapidly to the surface and spilling over the top of the glass. But why does this happen? Let’s take a closer look. The Role of Temperature In order to understand the …
