Articoli rivista
Anno XXXVI - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 2003 Chirurgia acustica
Bursts of focused ultrasound energy three orders of magnitude more intense than diagnostic ultrasound are emerging as a noninvasive option for treating cancer and other medical procedures. […]
Anno XXIX - n.1 - gennaio/marzo 1996 Cicerone e la cosmologia platonica
“Somnium Scipionis”, the final fragment of Cicero’s “Republica”, written in a poetic and cultured style, summarises the most essential ideas of Platonic cosmology. It hands down to posterity, also through its interpreters, Macrobius in particular, the design of a universe governed by mathematical principles. […]
Anno XXX - n.2 - aprile/giugno 1997 Cinematica generalizzata
Starting from a reflection on the conceptual structure of physics, an approach to the description of different phenomena analogous to the kinematic approach to motions proposed. An explanation using the concept of energy as a primitive concept is then suggested. […]
Anno XLVI - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 2013 Città della Scienza: una storia dei nostri tempi
A short story of the first Science Centre in Italy and its historical collections that were destroyed by fire and a description of the strategies used to stimulate school students’ or visitors’ interest in ancient scientific instruments, which are very different from modern ones. […]
Anno XLI - n.1 - gennaio/marzo 2008 Coefficiente di attrito statico
The article describes an easily understandable method for measuring the coefficient of static friction. For the experiment, both Real Time Laboratory (force sensor and position detector) and simple readily available items are used. […]
Anno XXXIII - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 2000 Cogli l’attimo fuggente nell’induzione magnetica
Transient phenomena in electromagnetic induction are usualy very ‘fleeting’. An on-line data acquisition system, with the opportunity of triggering the start of measurement, allows the visualization of a wide range of phenomena, a check of theoretical predictions on them and the storage of data for further processing. […]
Anno XLIV - n.1 - gennaio/marzo 2011 Cogliere la realtà in movimento: il software Tracker
Tracker is a free software that allows to study the trajectory of any moving object by analysing a video. Using this software to study the parabolic motion of balls in sports such as table tennis and basketball the pupils can learn how to enhance their performance as players while enjoying physics. […]
Anno XXXVII - n.1 - gennaio/marzo 2004 Collaborazione di ricercatori europei sulla preparazione degli insegnanti
Researchers in Science Education co-operate, within the thematic network STEDE (Science Teacher Education Development in Europe), in comparing how teachers are prepared in different institutions and in contributing to improve teacher education. The work dealing with the first point is presented by reporting the documents prepared in some of the participating institutions. […]
