    A Learning about other experimental areas of physics

    Hello! My research is mainly in atomic and molecular physics but from time to time I come across nice experimental setups, that show promise for my work, from other fields, like chemistry or even high energy physics. I was wondering if there is a more organized way to explore experimental setups...

    Other Finding academic expertise in specific areas

    I wonder how to find theoretical physics labs which have high level expertise in specific areas. Is there an online DB or "ranking" by area rather than by country? Also looking for HCR in TP. Cheers!

    I Double integrals - do areas cancel?

    If i do a double integral of 1.dxdy to find an area of an odd function eg. y=x from +a to -a i get zero because the area below the x-axis cancels with the area above the x-axis. If i do a double integral of a circle centred at the origin i get the area to be πr2 ; so why doesn't the area below...

    I Maximum Strain For Samples of Different Cross-Sectional Areas

    I would assume that because the samples are made of the same material they would fail at the same stress and so the same strain. However, the data shows that the sample with a greater cross-sectional area fails at a greater strain, and the two are roughly proportional. Does anyone know what...

    B Find triangles with areas that are integers

    It is pretty obvious that all right-angled triangles whose sides are integers will have areas which are also integers. Since either the base or height will be an even number, half base x height will always come out exactly. However, I have only found one non-right-angled triangle where this is...

    B Contributions to total energy in different areas of Physics

    Classically, the total energy of a particle/system ##E = T+V##. This is the usage seen in the Schrödinger equation, since E is an eigenvalue of ##\hat{H}## and ##\hat{H} = \hat{T} + \hat{V}##. Then in special relativity, the total energy ##E## of a particle/system becomes the rest energy plus...

    How to Deal with No Power in Areas of California

    Some areas of California are going to have their power turned off to prevent wild fires like they had last year. I don't live there, so lucky me. Its my understanding that some of the fires were started by wires blowing around and causing sparks in some way. Apparently, the power may be off for...

    B Do multiple WiFi devices create areas of high EMR?

    I'm thinking in a typical house or office, areas of constructive interference may exist which aggregate the fields of maybe 10 WiFi devices. Wouldn't this mean the safe power levels stipulated for any single device would be routinely be exceeded? And if so, do we care?
