Meet the Higgs boson: what have physicists learned about this particle in the ten years since its discovery?
Microscope in Action is a hands-on educational resource for teaching fluorescence microscopy in the classroom and beyond
All teachers have at least one favourite experiment that they are eager to share. Read on to learn more about monthly experiment sharing sessions and discover some low-cost physics experiments to try out in your own classroom.
Sketch graphs from ‘story’ videos of everyday events to help students understand the basic features of graphs and how to interpret them.
How can you measure a beam of particles without interfering with it? The answer: by using a curtain of supersonic gas.
Recent results from EUROfusion’s JET experiment have demonstrated sustained high fusion power for the first time. These ground-breaking results could pave the way for fusion energy to play a key role in tackling climate change.
A pressure wave generated by the explosion of a volcano 18 000 km away was detected as an unexpected windfall of a school ambient air monitoring network.
What would the world look like if we could see infrared light? With some simple modifications, you can turn a cheap webcam into an infrared camera and find out!
Silly or serious? Rube Goldberg machines are not only a lot of fun but can help students to understand the principles of conservation and transfer of energy.
