Tiny rulers to measure nanoscale structures

Tiny rulers to measure nanoscale structures




With the advent of nanometer-sized machines, there is considerable demand for stable, precise tools to measure absolute distances and distance changes. One way to do this is with a plasmon ruler. In physics jargon, a "plasmon" is the quasiparticle resulting from the quantization of plasma oscillation; it's essentially the collective oscillations of

Sufism and Quantum Physics (by Ibrahim B. Syed)

There are parallels in Sufism and in quantum theory. A view of the world is very similar to the views, held by Sufis and modern physicists. In contrast to the mechanistic world view of the Westerners, for the Sufis all things and events perceived by the senses are interrelated, connected, and are but different aspects or manifestations of the same ultimate reality. For Sufis “Enlightenment” is an

A New Astronomical Quranic Method for The Determination Of The Greatest Speed C

by Dr. Mansour Hassab-Elnaby



Abstract: The greatest speed C, denoting the velocity of light in vacuum, is hinted at in two glorious Quranic verses relating this fundamental universal contant C with the motion of the Earth-Moon system. A new relativistic interpretation of this Quranic relation gives C=299792.5 km/s in an extremely marvellous agreement with the accepted international value. This

List of unsolved problems in physics

Tulisan ini saya ambil dari www.en.wikipedia.org. Namun saya lagi males menerjemahkannya... so terjemahkan sendiri ya...! Semoga bermanfaat...!

The following problems are either fundamental theoretical problems, or theoretical ideas which lack experimental evidence and are in search of one, or both, as most of them are. Some of these problems are strongly interrelated. For example, extra

Umbrella Lights The Way




Payung LightDrops tidak seperti payung pada umumnya, ada sesuatu yang “lebih” jika dipergunakan di malam hari. Sewaktu air hujan menyentuh payung tersebut, energi potensial dari air hujan mengaktifkan membran konduktif bernama PDVF yang bertindak sebagai baterai lampu LED pada payung tersebut. Semakin deras hujannya, semakin terang cahaya yang dihasilkan untuk membantu menerangi jalan anda.

Pengukuran Torsi dan Aplikasi



 

Figure 6-4: Torque on a Rotating Shaft
Torque Measurement
Torque is measured by either sensing the actual shaft deflection caused by a twisting force, or by detecting the effects of this deflection. The surface of a shaft under torque will experience compression and tension, as shown in Figure 6-4. To measure torque, strain gage elements usually are mounted in pairs on the

Xbox speeds up research results



Part of Dr Scarle's research was done on an Xbox 360
Researchers have harnessed the powerful silicon chips used in the Xbox 360 console to solve scientific conundrums.Academics at the University of Warwick believe they are the first to use the processors as a cheap way to conduct "parallel processing".
Parallel computing is where a number of processors are run in tandem, allowing a system

The experiment focuses 192 high-power laser beams to a tiny target

A major hurdle to producing fusion energy using lasers has been swept aside, results in a new report show.

The controlled fusion of atoms - creating conditions like those in our Sun - has long been touted as a possible revolutionary energy
