In June 1925, Werner Heisenberg traveled to the island of #Helgoland to formulate the mathematical foundations of #quantum mechanics. 100 years later, the leaders of the field are meeting again on Helgoland this week. Physicists from Innsbruck are part of it: quantum visionary Peter Zoller, quantum computer pioneer Rainer Blatt, quantum networker Tracy Northup and junior researchers Thomas Agrenius-Gustafsson, Johannes Fankhauser and Lukas Fiderer.
Slices of the magnetic field created by a moving particule, perpendicular to its direction of motion.
In the direction of motion , the magnetic field is zero

From recent news - no, water doesn't destroy magnets but something else can. #physcis

New #physcis video. Finding the equivalent spring constant for two unequal springs in parallel and then in series.
Food physics! 🙂
"If you take more than 10 percent of the fruit in a stacked produce display — watch out.
The iconic sloped produce displays in grocery stores can cause chaos when they collapse. But the question of how much fruit can be removed before the structure comes tumbling down is surprisingly complicated. A new study, published in the December Physical Review E, finally provides an answer."

My physics teacher was wrong ;)
Debunked the myth about ice skating suggested by Lord Kelvin and propagated in Maxwell’s book. #physcis
