Comics about Gravitational Waves
Nel 2016 viene annunciata la scoperta delle onde gravitazionali. Un anno dopo, i fisici registrano il primo segnale “multimessaggero” della storia della scienza, aprendo la strada ad una nuova branca della fisica: l’astronomia multimessaggera. È proprio la prima onda gravitazionale rivelata, chiamata nel fumetto Nera15, a raccontarci la storia di questa scoperta, che si intreccia…

Charge! Electricity and Magnetism
Particle physicists know how magnets big and small work and how they apply to our world. Students explore the relationship of magnetism and electricity and have questions answered about the power of these forces. This presentation is one of a series offered by Fermilab scientists, engineers and technicians at schools near the Lab. URL for…
