Anno XLVI - n.1 - gennaio/marzo 2013 La diffusione dell’ora esatta nell’era della televisione digitale
The reasons why in our days it is impossible to regulate our watches with precision through radio or TV signals are described and discussed. The International Atomic Time, the leap second concept, the modern techniques used to obtain a correct speaking clock and the reasons that corrupt the delivery of the time check via digital broadcasts are briefly described, […]
Anno XXVI - n.2 - aprile/giugno 1993 La Dinamica Molecolare e l’Insegnamento della Fisica della Materia Condensata nelle Scuole Superiori
In this paper we discuss molecular dynamics, a numerical technique successfully employed since thirty years in research to solve the equations of motion in many body systems. We propose using molecular dynamics as a tool in high school teaching of condensed Matter Physics. […]
Anno XXXII - n.1 - gennaio/marzo 1999 La fisica dei fumetti
In this paper three examples are reported about the presence of physics in comics: a proposal to increase youth’s interest towards scientific subjects. […]
Anno XXXV - n.1 - gennaio/marzo 2002 La fisica del ballo
Dancing is a pleasant and healthy activity. Its analysis from the point of view of physics allows to uncover the roles played by forces, centre of mass, moment of inertia, angular momentum, etc… […]
Anno XXXIX - n.3 - luglio/settembre 2006 La fisica del buco
The true and genuine holes, in physics as well, go rather unnoticed owing to their absence of matter except when their presence entails functional problems. In the following, starting from simple problems and looking at the hole rather than at its surroundings, […]
Anno XXXVI - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 2003 La fisica delle radiazioni e le sue applicazioni alla terapia medica
Radiation therapy is an example of the successful application of advanced physics to the treatment of human disease leading to improved quality of life and even cure for many patients. The German physicist William Roentgen (1845-1923), who discovered x-rays in 1895 and pioneered early x-ray applications, […]
