|
| |
American
Institute of Physics (http://www.aip.org/)
Dedicated to the study of Physics, this
site contains downloadable
journals, back issues, and some helpful
software. Motion control is the process
of computer controlled kinetics-- the foundation
of robotics. The ability to precisely control
the path of a tool enables fabrication of
objects that would not be possible or practical
by hand held methods. |

|
| |
CERN:
European Laboratory for Particle Physics
(http://www.cern.ch/) Information about
the World Wide Web from the place where it
was invented. Just about anything you'd want
to know about the Web can be found here or
in links from here. The main thrust of the
site is the Laboratory's work in Particle
Physics. |

Circles
of Light: The Mathematics of Rainbows
(http://www.geom.umn.edu/education/calc-init/rainbow)This
is a series of explanations and experiments
with light refraction, reflection, and characteristics
of travel. It's straightforward and informative
with helpful figures to go along with the
text. All of it is nicely tied together
in that, combined, the principles explain
rainbows. |

Exploring
Gravity (http://www.curtin.edu.au/curtin/dept/phys-sci/gravity)
Created by a professor in Australia to explore
the use of online tutorials in physics education,
this is a very informative and well designed
site. Its physics divisions are history, introductory,
intermediate, and advanced. There are questions
throughout the tutorials and a quiz for each
one. Overall, this is a really great site! |

The
High-Energy Astrophysics Learning Center
(http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/learning_center)
This site is all about the high energy region
of the electromagnetic spectrum (x-rays and
gamma rays). There's a question and answer
section, information to help you understand
basic and advanced HEA, satellite information,
software, a dictionary, and other links. |
| |
|
| |
Mad
Scientist Network (http://medinfo.wustl.edu/ysp/MSN/)
Questions and answers on a huge range of scientific
topics make this a great site for information
on science. And if you don't find the answer
you're looking for already here, ask a question
of the mad scientist of your choice. |
| |
|
| |
Nuclear
Physics: Past, Present and Future
(http://tqd.advanced.org/3471)There are five
topics to choose from: the physics of how
nuclear technology works, weapons, energy,
general applications, and politics. Each topic
is explored well and explained. This is a
good place to get the basics. |
| |
|
