The decades surrounding the quantum revolution in science have been chronicled countless times. Among the ranks of noted histories, Uncertainty by David Lindley brings a unique perspective of a classic tale. The turbulent period in science marked the evolution from absolute determinism to probabilistic interactions. After this era, entropy did not always increase, only sometimes. By following the introduction of Heisenberg’s famous uncertainty principle, Lindley represents the giants of physics…
Only about 25% of the country of Darwin is electrified. For those who are not on the electric grid, lighting is primarily done by kerosene lamps and homemade candles. Kerosene fuel can cost as much as 50 cents a night, a substantial amount of money considering most Haitians only make about 2 dollars a day. Besides cost, kerosene also has many negative health risks, specifically harmful fumes and the risk of broken glass and fire. Due to these factors, many Haitians do not have much if any…
explain the behaviour of matter on the atomic level with the laws of classical physics however they were not accurate nor successful. It was not until the period between 1900 and 1930 where a revolution occurred and a generalised formulation called quantum mechanic was developed. And since the understanding of the structure of the nucleus of the atoms led to the development of different technologies and applications. The way how our understanding has grown will be discussed in the follow report.…
Exploration: Research Question: How does the travel distance of light waves affect the distance between the constructive interference fringes in the Double Slit experiment? Personal Engagement/Topic: Light is seen everywhere, artificial and natural. It is so common, that no one really questions it. But what is light made of? Intuitively, I would answer that visible light is a particle. It makes sense, doesn’t it? The photon from the source shoots into the eye’s retina, and the eye’s rods and…
Albert Einstein created a whole new universe of curiosity and discovery through research, experiments, and countless years of dedication to science. Throughout the years of his life, he faced many trials and failures, but those helped him set the foundations for many inventions and findings in the science community. Albert Einstein was an amazing scientist with a curious childhood and an extraordinary adult life, filled with discoveries and findings that ended up impacting science in several…
In 1971, the food processor is invented, as well as the “liquid-crystal display” (LCD). Other things also invented during this year would be the dot-matrix printer, the microprocessor and the famed VCR. In 1972, the word processor is invented and the first video game ever - Pong; is invented. In 1973, gene splicing is invented and the ethernet is created. Bic also creates the disposable lighter…
Analysis Of A Housing Bubble Conrad M. Landis ENG103 March 17, 2014 Lisa Burkart-Uva Analysis Of A Housing Bubble The late 1990 's introduced the dotcom era to the world. Hopes were high as businesses were seemingly being created overnight. The rush was on by the public and investors alike to sink their savings into the promise of these start up companies. Technology was advancing and all appeared well in the world of investing. Companies would go public on the stock market…
First of all, I would like to extend my gratitude to our professor Chris McEvoy for presenting us with the opportunity to conduct an interview with a startup, as it was a mind changing event for me. For our interview, the startup that agreed to work with us was Socio: A next level event experience. The main model of this startup is to make an event a fun experience and cut down the needs of carrying business cards. They developed an android, iOS app that helps user to share information with…

We now use the method described in Section 2 to studythe effects of electron-phonon interaction on the electronic transport properties of (C60-1X1)2(X=N,B) molecule. We set tC-C=2.5 eV, αC-C=6.31 eV/Å, KC-C=49.7 eV/Å2 [35] tC-B=1.17 eV, αC-B=6.04 eV/Å, KC-B=51.1 eV/Å2,tC-N=1.05 eV, αC-N=6.13 eV/Å, and KC-N=49.6 eV/Å2 [36] and T=300 K in the calculations. The doped atoms are located at about the same distance from each lead and they are indicated with a different color from C atoms in each…
