Fourth Award
The Lorentz contraction is a spontaneous measurement of an object’s length. The difference between measuring and seeing is highlighted to compute the visual appearance of extended objects tr…
Physics and Astronomy
Currently, rocket nozzles are commonly designed in a bell shape, but this design has many limitations. As the pressure decreases, efficiency is lost due to the over-expansion of gases over t…
Physics and Astronomy
Erhu is a Chinese bow-string instrument with which music played by beginners is not beautiful but annoying. Its music characteristics and noise production mechanism haven’t been thoroughly s…
Physics and Astronomy
The dynamic behavior of granular matter under vibration puzzles soft matter physicists today, and remains a major branch of modern soft matter research. This research first analyzed a classi…
Physics and Astronomy
We did our research about the principles of a spectrometer and designed a micro spectrometer which twenty five dollars, compact, portable and easy to use. A design that would not be affected…
Physics and Astronomy
Superconductivity is a phenomenon in which the resistance of a material is zero when cooled below a critical temperature TC. High-temperature superconductors hold immense applications includ…
Physics and Astronomy
Advances in the field of planetary science, particularly concerning our own solar system, have been dramatic over the last few decades. However, with these copious amounts of new data comes…
Physics and Astronomy
Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) are devices that use temperature differentials to generate electricity through the Seebeck effect. Low compatibility and efficiency make implementations of T…
Physics and Astronomy (inferred)
An important issue in modern observational astronomy is detecting low-energy gas and dust, primarily in galaxies; previous work includes extensive use of the 21cm hydrogen (HI) line in radio…
Physics and Astronomy
The sound of waves breaking on shore or against an obstruction or jetty is an immediately recognizable sound pattern which could potentially be employed by a sensor system to identify obstru…
