Researchers develop new model to predict surface atom scattering
A group of Cornell-led researchers in the Center for Bright Beams has developed a new theoretical approach to calculate how atoms scatter from surfaces. The method, developed by recently conferred Cornell physics Ph.D. Michelle Kelley and her collabo.....»»
How does a "reverse sprinkler" work? Researchers solve decades-old physics puzzle
For decades scientists have been trying to solve Feynman's Sprinkler Problem: How does a sprinkler running in reverse—in which the water flows into the device rather than out of it—work? Through a series of experiments, a team of mathematicians h.....»»
