MINUTE PHYSICS
2011-11-21 16:07:00 When 24 year-old Physicist, Henry Reich, became concerned about the poor state of science and education, he didn't just make an observation, he actually decided to put a theory to work. Reich believed that physics could be taught in a shorter more engaging manner, thus the creation of his YouTube series, Minute Physics. The popular (23,400+ views) clips break down several physics and science concepts with time-lapsed drawings and a detailed voice over, all in under one minute. Genius!

Google Lays Out The Three Laws Of Display Advertising Physics
2011-02-28 04:41:00 On the Agency Ad Solution Blog, Google laid out three laws of display advertising physics. Giving attention to these laws is a must for every internet marketer. Regarding the utilities of these laws, Google said that just as three laws of physics are quintessential for understanding the universe, in the same way the display ad laws are necessary for framing out a better marketing strategy. A blogpost on the official blog reads, “Display advertising is one of our big focus areas. Better display advertising helps to fund the websites and content we all use and read, provides useful and engaging commercial information, and helps large and small advertisers to reach new customers, increase sales and grow their businesses.” The criterion by using which one distinguishes between different types of advertising technologies, for example between ad networks and demand side platform, is losing its importance. This is because, for an online marketer, the most important thing is to manage ...

A Unique Way to Measure Dark Energy with Galaxies and Quasars
2008-09-18 23:39:00 The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) uses a 2.5-meter telescope with a wider field of view than any other large telescope, located on a mountaintop in New Mexico called Apache Point and devoted solely to mapping the universe. We now know that some three-quarters of the universe consists of dark energy, whose very existence was unsuspected when telescope construction began in 1994 and still controversial when the first Sloan survey started in 2000.Investigating dark energy has since emerged as one of the most crucial tasks of the SDSS. SDSS-III, the third major mapping program, started in midsummer 2008, with the biggest of its four component surveys being a dark-energy probe called BOSS, the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey.Astrophysicist David Schlegel, since 2004 a member of the Physics Division at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, is the principal investigator of BOSS; formerly of Princeton University, Schlegel has been part of the SDSS...

Richard Phillips Feynman Laws of Physics and the Rules of Chess
2008-09-12 13:21:00 Richard Phillips Feynman May 11, 1918 – February 15, 1988 was an American physicist known for the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics, the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as work in particle physics (the parton model was proposed by him). For his contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman was a joint recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965, together with Julian Schwinger and Sin-Itiro Tomonaga. Feynman developed a widely-used pictorial representation scheme for the mathematical expressions governing the behavior of subatomic particles, which later became known as Feynman diagrams.He assisted in the development of the atomic bomb and was a member of the panel that investigated the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. In addition to his work in theoretical physics, Feynman has been credited with pioneering the field of quantum computing, and introducing the concept of...

Superhard, Super Slippery Diamonds
2008-07-16 09:41:00 They call diamonds ?ice,? and not just because they sparkle. Engineers and physicists have long studied diamond because even though the material is as hard as an ice ball to the head, diamond slips and slides with remarkably low friction, making it an ideal material or coating for seals, high performance tools and high-tech moving parts.Robert Carpick, associate professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics at the University of Pennsylvania, and his group led a collaboration with researchers from Argonne National Laboratories, the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Florida to determine what makes diamond films such slippery customers, settling a debate on the scientific origin of its properties and providing new knowledge that will help create the next generation of super low friction materials.The Penn experiments, the first study of diamond friction convincingly supported by spectroscopy, looked at two of the main hypotheses posited...
