Tips to Make Your Children Like Physics

By  

Physics seems to be such a difficult subject that many students avoid. The only way to master this subject is to be accustomed to it. As parents, you can introduce Physics to your children as early as possible. Here we have some tips to make your kids love Physics.
Remember that physics needs experiments for better understanding. Therefore, the first thing you have to do is to make your children accustomed to such experiments. Make them intrigued to ask how something can happen. Just find simple experiments, but attractive.
There are typical children who are so reluctant to study, even to hear any words dealing with studying. Hence, when you ask your children to get involved in those experiments, avoid the terms of studying. Create the atmosphere as if you were playing with them. They will be more relaxed that they don't realize that they are actually studying Physics.
Speaking on simple experiments, you can practice to make a volcano with your children. You only need to prepare sand, a used bottle of mineral water, vinegar, two-spoon baking soda, food coloring (choose red one to give a sense of lava), and a tray.
Firstly, put the baking soda and food coloring into the bottle. Then place the bottle on the tray with freestanding position. Cover the body of the bottle with the sand until it looks like a volcano. Remember not to cover the mouth of the bottle with the stand. Pour the vinegar into the bottle and you will see an explosion of a volcano with the red lava. You can search another simple experiment in the internet. After the experiments, try to explain how it can happen.
Then it is important to give your children a chance to practice another Physics concept they might find. Help them with when they have difficulties. Also, you have to pay attention to their mood. If you see that they seemingly get bored, you can play a game with them. Or, you might make a quiz. To motivate them to answer your questions, prepare some rewards, like chocolate or candies, or anything they like. Give them those rewards when they have the correct answer.
These activities demand parents to be more active. Nevertheless, while you are teaching your children, you get the benefits. You are actually studying that you can improve your knowledge.
Talking about Physics, you are probably interested in any discussions on ray spectrum and any devices dealing with this subject. Thus you can read other articles of Lucien Lester on vibrational spectroscopy [http://ramanspectrometer.org/vibrational-spectroscopy/] and raman spectrometer [http://ramanspectrometer.org/]. Within those articles you can also find reviews on such spectrometers which you can take into consideration before you purchase one.


Sourcing High Tech Instruments for Nanotechnology Industries

By   

Nanotechnology industries require high tech instruments that can produce precise results. A company with the required technical resources can come up with the equipment that combines flexibility, precision and ease-of-operation. They keep pace with the rising standards of nanotechnology instruments.
Nanotechnology has opened up possibilities that were not even thought of once. It can be used for bringing solar energy to billions people; produce cheap, clean energy from water; medical applications; cryonics; preserving environment; better communication; faster and safer construction; and varied other uses.
Nanotechnology industries cannot deploy regular equipment. For instance, crushing machines regularly used by industries to produce powder from plants, herbs and fibers cannot be used in nanotechnology. The machine will fail to produce the desired results. The industry requires nano-equipment specifically made for the purpose.
There are companies that specialize in producing equipment for nanotechnology industry. They will offer equipment which can be used by the industries for diverse purposes. These companies will be engaged actively in Research and Development (R&D) and come up with the equipment tailored for use by their clients. More often, their R&D staff will work in close collaboration with the clients for developing the instruments.
Take indentation and scratch tester that is used by nanotechnology industry. A competent company can come up with a versatile tester which can do scratch and indentation on same tester. Such a tester will produce results like
* zig zag, rotary, linear scratch
* anti-vibration table, acoustic enclosure
* integrated AFM, profiler, Raman etc.
* Vicker's, Berkovich, Brinell, Rockwell, etc.
Indentation instruments must be applicable in various environmental chambers including liquid, dry, humidity, inert gas, etc. These are used to calculate indentation, hardness, depth of coatings, modulus, etc.
Design philosophy behind the instrumentation is simple - to produce an instrument that amalgamates flexibility, precision and ease-of-operation, and, at the same time, is cost-efficient as well in terms of capital and ongoing costs. Scientists having research experience in many fields of analysis are involved in development of the instruments.
Units they produce incorporate cutting edge design and technical solutions enabling superior performance. Any new technical challenge is approached with an open mind and innovative spirit. They come up with versatile instruments that can be used in diverse applications. Standards of nanotechnology instruments are consistently going up and the manufacturers have to keep pace with these.
Such companies won't just supply the instruments but also offer consultation in various areas. Their team of experienced scientists can provide expert test and witness services for legal protection to clients. They may also offer contract testing services, thriving to give quality results to meet your requirements.
Companies dealing in nanoindentation equipment may also supply instruments like Multi- Functional Tribometer, Atomic Force Microscope, High Temperature Indentation, Raman Spectrometer, 3D Profilometer, Stress Tester and Polishers.
You need to procure the instruments from a manufacturer that has the technical resources to develop high-tech instruments for precise applications. The instruments will be comprised of proprietary combination of engineered components and technology that allow operation. Given the high end use of instruments, these are manufactured with the objective of meeting the most demanding requirements. Often they are designed to perform accurately regardless of duration and storage environment.
It is advisable to collaborate with the companies that have a reputation of manufacturing equipment. When procuring high-tech instruments, it is always better to follow calculated approach.
Author of this article is associated with Rtec Instruments that deals in advanced test instruments like profilometer, scratch tester, high temperature tribometer, high temperature indentation and CMP polisher.
