The spontaneous synchronization of phase-coupled, non-identical oscillators is explored numerically via the famous Kuramoto model. The conditions for synchronization are examined as a function of the coupling network. I argue...
Glass syringes have precision fit low-friction pistons and are relatively inexpensive, which makes them an ideal tool for studying the thermal behavior of gases. The glass syringe is used to construct a thermometer, a miniature...

Acoustic levitation is the phenomenon wherein a standing sound pressure wave can be used to levitate small objects by exerting a force large enough to counter the force of gravity. In this paper we examine the theory of...
This book adds a computational dimension to introductory physics mechanics course, and is intended to accompany the textbook and other course materials for that course. It uses the programming language VPython in the...
