... in many cities, as cars and trucks clog up roads and public spaces. Traffic jams cause stress and mental health issues, and the abundance of parked cars is killing our streets. Constant widening of roads to try to accommodate more cars simply does not work and has kept eroding space for people. A pleasant...

... well, students seeing practical applications of science and technology is valuable. Appreciation Courses that claim to be easy and pleasant are almost certainly not Cliff wrote this editorial to comment about information he had received about a new physics course. At the beginning of the school year...

..., the motion is instead free fall, until the feet touch down again. The whole motion is essentially in one dimension. Garden trampolines are common, and some playgrounds have small robust trampolines (Fig. 11.22 ) that are not very pleasant for adult bouncing, but can be used to illustrate the change...

... time without affecting the intrinsic properties of them need to be identified. Among various production techniques, CVD is leading the way for production of high-quality graphene. This is a pleasant development, as CVD is compatible with the Si industry and, therefore, opens the gate for advancement...

... and time from faculty and graduate students, the room (formerly a research laboratory) has been remodeled to provide a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere. As a student enters the Physics Activities Center, he is standing beside the discussion area which contains a desk for an assistant (graduate or upper...

... of the balance wheel needed to be only very near to, not exactly equal to, that of the driving pulses. Now, for quartz analog watches, the balance wheel with its pleasant ticking is nearly a thing of the past – replaced by a simpler, ratchet type mechanism, that steps the gear train ahead typically once a second...

.... (The breaks in the traces are due to a coordinate grid on plastic in front of the CR tube.) The fact that was new to me, which led to some pleasant hours of experiment, is that muscle contraction is not steady, but is modulated at around 20 Hz, more or less. That means that if you clench your fist...
