Abstract In this experiment, a simple pendulum device with a length of 1.3m is made and used to measure the period of the simple pendulum with the accuracy of several milliseconds through the Arduino. A light sensor and a laser are used for the measurement. As a result of the experiment, the period increases as […]

Abstract The study was started to analyze the widely known ‘bottle flip’ phenomenon. The bottle flip is when a half-filled water bottle stands upright when thrown. It is difficult to analyze the motion because the distribution of fluids in a bottle is constantly changing. Thus, a parabolic motion model was constructed to analyze the motion […]
Keywords Greenhouse Effect, Blackbody Radiation, Climate Change, Solar Radiation, physical modelling, physical analysis Abstract This paper examines physical theories such as thermodynamics, quantum mechanics to develop parameters including absorptivity, reflectivity, and transmissivity of the atmosphere. It is on such parameters that the physical modelling equation has been established to quantitatively analyze the ongoing global warming […]
Hazal A. Kara Introduction to the ISS The International Space Station (ISS) is a large spacecraft that orbits the Earth at 90-minute intervals [1]. Many countries are involved in the ISS collaboration: the USA, Canada, Japan, Russia, and member states of the European Space Agency. The first piece of the ISS was launched in 1998, […]
Abstract Until recently, both the properties of quantum and exotic matter have been difficult to observe. However, in the last few decades, a promising discovery has arisen – ultracold atoms. The ensuing article will unravel and unlock the vast potential held by this field. The article builds on prior knowledge of ultracold atoms, including other […]
Professor Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell is an astrophysicist from the University of Oxford, England. In 1967, Burnell’s work in astrophysics led her to the discovery of pulsars – round, compact objects that are roughly the size of a large city and have a larger mass than the sun. [1] This breakthrough is thought to be […]
Abstract Isotopes[1] of an element have the same atomic number but different atomic masses. Though it is most convenient to talk about isotopes in terms of protons and neutrons, it may be interesting to think of isotopes in terms of quarks[2]. Quarks are the particles that make up the protons and neutrons, which constitute the […]
Abstract The purpose of this study was to develop a tool to compare the ability of individuals to tune a guitar as accurately as possible. This was done by recording the sound waves produced (by the guitar), taken alongside a software called “Audacity”, and manually analysing them using statistical analysis. The resulting tool was astoundingly […]
Introduction Space. A vast expanse of which we know almost nothing about. Scientists have long riddled and wondered about the ‘balls of light’ seemingly hovering above the dome of our sky. But we have come far from the ancient times, when the Earth was believed to be flat and the centre of creation. We have […]
Introduction (Sona Popat) The day is July 20th, 1969. Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins (Figure 1), the crew of the Apollo 11, land on the moon, and people around the world turn their eyes to the universe. A whole generation vividly remember the moment, with over half a billion people[1] gathering around their […]
Abstract The High School Project on Astrophysics Research with Cosmics (HiSPARC) comprises a network of cosmic ray detectors across Europe that are used by secondary school students to investigate high energy cosmic rays. This project uses the detector at King Edward VI High School for Girls to investigate the effect of atmospheric pressure on the […]
Introduction The Outer Space Treaty of 1967 agreed that Space exploration ‘shall be the province of all mankind’.[1] At the time, this was sufficient. Satellites were beginning to be sent up into the atmosphere and in 1961 Yuri Gagarin had become the first man to leave Earth, but the prospect of deep space exploration on […]
On July 20th, 1969, a scientific breakthrough was made. Neil Armstrong became the first human to ever set foot on Earth’s only Moon. Ever since this remarkable day, his famous words “that’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” have been memorialised. According to the Guardian, in that year alone, the total […]
This is a dissertation discussing the aspects of my Nuffield Research Project which cover the viability of String Theory
Iridescent wing casings of the Chrysochroa Wallacei beetle were heated and the changes in colour were investigated.
On the 17 September 2018 the annual Young Scientists Journal conference was held at the University of Nottingham. In the morning there was a talk by Phil Moriarty, who is a Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Nottingham. He was presenting about the connection between heavy metal and quantum mechanics and explained […]
How far is Italy from Philippines? Surely it is not just around the corner. But, seeing that the sky’s the limit, I managed to pose some questions to the winner of the 2017 Breakthrough Junior Challenge, Hillary Diane Andales. Truth be told, even though we have never met each other, Hillary has been very kind […]
Abstract This paper will look at the nature of the black hole, how it was discovered, how they are classified, how it creates problems with conventionally accepted physics like general relativity, why black holes are hard to study, and what Stephen Hawking’s Black Hole Information Paradox is. In the first section of the paper, […]
Abstract This paper presents an apparatus to measure the flow of granular matter through a funnel with a force sensor. In addition to being easily reproducible, our proposed method enhances measurement accuracy from the popular method that uses a stopwatch. We notice, however, that our proposed setup induces an unwelcome force that confounds force […]
