Electric Car Battery Technology 2023
So a lot of interest keeps being generated by this topic globally as people struggle to see how we are going to move from the ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) to a more sustainable way of getting around.
To be fair I think mostly the mainstream media are selling the public a whole tissue of lies when …

2023 Poorly Written AQA Physics Exam
I am extremely disappointed by this year’s AQA Spec A A-level papers. The challenge was simply too much for many pupils and clearly the difficulty of the papers in comparison to Edexcel as a comparison was clear from the papers and marks requires for higher grades which were significantly different. See my analysis below of …

Brain imaging study finds that teaching maths to less anxious students helps!
https://www.psypost.org/2021/05/brain-imaging-study-finds-that-teaching-math-anxious-students-to-reframe-their-anxieties-improves-their-performance-60954
This is super research and fits in with what I see daily in Physics.
The idea that if you are stressed you do worse at the mathematics components I think it’s key for Physics. This is why for nearly all my work I give full answers in printed or electronic form and allow my students to …

The first room-temperature superconductor has finally been found
It’s here: Scientists have reported the discovery of the first room-temperature superconductor, after more than a century of waiting. The compound conducts electricity without resistance up to 15° C, but only under high pressure.
The discovery evokes daydreams of futuristic technologies that could reshape electronics and transportation. Superconductors transmit electricity without resistance, allowing current to flow …
