Charged particles emit radiation in the presence of strong electromagnetic fields. Emission implies a recoil on the charge, altering its dynamics and is referred to as radiation reaction (RR). Current experiments are on ...

In physics, toy models are often used in popular science contexts. Further, toy models have also been used to communicate some important principles of abstract phenomena qualitatively. One such example can be found in ...

Zooplankton are playing a pivotal role in balancing the life on Earth. By grazing on phytoplankton and then serving as food source to larger aquatic animals, they pave the way of redistributing the Sun’s energy and ...

Visualizations within physics education are critical for learning physics and can be realized in a classroom with experiments, demonstrations, digital tools, mathematical analysis, or other representations, all with ...

The breadth of applications of optical tweezers in life sciences is so large, that it merited Arthur Ashkin a Nobel prize in 2018. Although optical levitation in air was invented first, it has not managed to be so widely ...

Complex systems often display chaotic dynamics, characterised by being exponentially sensitive to changes in initial conditions. Such systems are in general difficult to analyse, due to the large number of nonlinearly ...
