Have you ever seen Styrofoam balls float? Inspired by the research of the Waitukaitis group, the object “Acoustic Levitation” makes exactly that possible. It allows for the observation of particles isolated from electrical charge. Find out more: https://www.vistascience.at/en/festival

Because cool physics is everywhere 😎 (source unknown, unfortunately)

I thought of a sneaky way to find my people on this thing. Self-identify and I will add you... See you at APS-DFD! go.bsky.app/8Njfprh

Beaucoup d'idées de compte de chercheuses à suivre ! Il y a encore peu de physiciennes dans la liste donc si vous en connaissez qui pourraient être intéressées d'être ajoutées n'hésitez pas à leur transférer l'info ⤵️

LAB CHRONICLE #18 -Shooting Instructions- Always check that the camera isn’t pointing at the wall. Especially after 3 days of shooting. #ExperimentalSetup #KingOfTheLab #NoPanic #Research #LeidenfrostEffect

Pour Science&vie je vous ai concocté une Une sur les fondements de la physique : pourquoi relativité générale et mécanique quantique sont incompatibles ? Doivent-elles être fusionnées ou collées ? Quelle aide apportent les expériences en labo ? 20 pages pour réconcilier (ou pas) les deux infinis ♾️

Why would anyone want to be a scientist? "Doing good science requires the utmost exertion of body, mind and spirit, yet is consistently filled with failure and rejection." journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...

"But each succeeding year augments our experimental powers ; the invention of improved methods enables us to renew our methods with a greater chance of success." 👨‍🔬John Tyndall - "Heat as a Mode of Motion" (1874) #ScientificProgress #BetterMethods #ExperimentalSetup #AdvancingScience #Physics

LAB CHRONICLE #15 -Instructions- Never laugh when looking at a droplet. It might think we underestimate it. #LeidenfrostEffect #LabInstructions #ExperimentalGuideline #Guidelines #Stoicism

"when writing about visual science, the visuals themselves must be treated with the same care as the ideas they illuminate"
