The study of crystalline solids and condensed matter physics at large concerns itself with the new behaviors and phases of matter exhibited by elementary particles, atoms, and molecules by virtue of being assembled into a structure. These phases arise from complex microscopic behaviors, which makes it is difficult to establish rigorous quantitative...

To assess students’ awareness of physical sciences’ significance in the medical field and relate this awareness to their academic achievement. A multiple-choice questionnaire was distributed to first- and second-year medical sciences students. The questionnaire consists of four particulars, two questions aimed at assessing the students’ awareness o...

Introduction Research-based instructional strategies in physics promote active participation in collaborative activities as a primary means for students to construct understanding. Discussions of physics content are also negotiations of social relations. Methods Video analysis of small-group collaborative learning activities in introductory physics...

Lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) has emerged as a potential cathode material due to its lower cost and higher stabilities. This work investigates LFP cell behavior at higher C-rates via a detailed simulation study. To facilitate this investigation, a physics-based electrochemical model is calibrated and validated with in-house experimental data. The va...

Vector boson scattering is a key production process to probe the electroweak symmetry breaking of the Standard Model and is one of the most important topics of the physics program for the HL-LHC since it involves both self-couplings of vector bosons and their coupling with the Higgs boson. If the Higgs mechanism is not the sole source of electrowea...

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of additive manufacturing (AM)-based teaching methods compared to traditional methods for teaching the Archimedes experiment in science education. Results showed that the AM method was significantly more effective in enhancing students’ understanding of the Archimedes principle and their ability to ...

Introduction Teacher education for interdisciplinary science teaching at secondary schools shows shortcomings in several countries. One of these countries is Germany. Germany provides teacher education studies for secondary education in biology, chemistry, and physics. This discipline-specific single science subject teacher education results in par...
