The ability to simply explain complex physical networks

Doctoral student Benia Gros from the Department of Physics, the President's Scholar, has so far published 15 articles and one book, and presented his works dealing with dependent physical networks, at 9 conferences

Spotlight on the Doppler effect

If you have ever stood on the side of a highway, or an ambulance passed you by at high speed, you must have noticed the change in tone that occurs exactly when the vehicle or the siren passes you by: the noise "drops" sharply from high to low tones, from treble to bass.

"Surprising results": research reveals for the first time what happens at the end of the crack

  • No comments
This research, recently carried out by Prof. Jay Feinberg and Neri Berman from the Rekh Institute of Physics, was published in the prestigious journal Physical Review Letters. The study revealed, for the first time, the behavior in the immediate vicinity of the crack tip. In fact, this is the first time in the world that this tiny region, where material breaking occurs, has been observed in a laboratory experiment

In a series of experiments, Weizmann Institute of Science scientists solved the puzzle of the relationship between electric current and the freezing temperature of supercooled water. Beyond the scientific interest, their findings may lead to the advancement of applications in diverse fields where control of ice formation is required

In the study, the scientists examined collisions that occur between the molecules. Collisions of atoms have been studied in the past, but atoms - according to classical physics - are spherical, while molecules have an elongated structure. The structure of a colliding body affects the way it will move after the collision. Will elongated molecules behave differently from spherical atoms? And is knowing their shape enough to predict the outcome of the collision? Illustration: pixabay.com.

A sheet of water is created when a jet hits a target. In the picture, a sheet of water is created when water flowing from the faucet hits the spoon above the kitchen sink. This sheet will eventually break down into droplets; While sheets of liquid may seem like an abstract image, the physics that govern the process are relevant to fields ranging from fuel injection to irrigation.
