FLEET schools: Conductors, insulators and electricity

Introduction From the dawn of time we have witnessed electricity as a primal force of nature in the form of lightning. The ancient Greeks would rub amber with a cloth and get small electric shocks – the same static electricity we experience when we rub our feet along the carpet and then touch something conductive, for example a metal bench ...

Shapes and Patterns & the next big thing in physics: moiré pattern and twistronics

What can you do with simple shapes? Create a type of animation that will surprise you. It is cool quantum art, yet our understanding of moiré patterns is behind the development of novel materials to enable quantum computing, and to develop energy-efficient digital technologies, data storage and information and electricity transmission. It all comes down to magic angles and what ...
