- Modern PhysicsNuclear Fission vs Fusion: The Binding Energy Curve Explained
Nuclear fission vs fusion, explained by the binding energy curve — split or fuse any nucleus, weigh the missing mass, and run a live chain reaction.
- Modern PhysicsHow Does an Atomic Clock Work?
How does an atomic clock work? Cesium-133's 9,192,631,770 Hz hyperfine transition locks the SI second, with laser cooling and precision explained.
- Modern PhysicsBohr Model Calculator and Hydrogen Emission Spectrum Simulator
Bohr model calculator for hydrogen electron energy levels — find transition wavelengths, explore the emission spectrum, and see why orbits are quantized.
- Modern PhysicsTime Dilation Calculator: Why Does Time Slow Down at High Speed?
Time dilation calculator with an animated light clock, real-world speed presets, and a spacetime diagram that resolves the classic twin paradox.
- Modern PhysicsHalf-Life Calculator and Radioactive Decay Simulator
Half-life calculator with an interactive radioactive decay simulator — find the amount remaining, decay constant and age of a sample from N = N₀e^(−λt).
- Modern PhysicsHow Do Lasers Work?
Lasers amplify light through stimulated emission — explore the quantum mechanics of population inversion, optical cavities, and how the first laser was built in 1960.
- Modern PhysicsThe Photoelectric Effect
Einstein's Nobel Prize experiment visualised — watch photons eject electrons from a metal plate and discover why frequency beats intensity every time.
