With a simple coil and an LED you cannot only detect the fields generated by NFC (Near-field communication), you can also rectify the signal to detect it in another phone's magnetometer with #phyphox.
Every time I make the typo "grabity" part of me wants to argue that it should have been called that all along.
Dieses Social-Media-Verbot für Jugendliche erinnert mich an eine Chemiefabrik, der nicht verboten wird, ihre Abwasser in den See zu leiten, sondern stattdessen den Jugendlichen verboten wird, im See zu schwimmen.
And we're back! The latest season (or series, if you prefer) of Words Unravelled has begun. In this episode: Words like empathy, magazine, and casino mean different things in other languages. @robwords.com and I discuss false friends and false cognates: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA4d...

Using the standard drag equation and some back-of-the-envelope assumptions: 🐈 mass ≈ 4 kg 🪂 parachute diameter ≈ 1 m 🌍 air density ≈ 1.225 kg/m³ 📉 drag coefficient ≈ 1.5 The well prepared cat would have a terminal velocity of roughly 7 m/s
Who's up for calculating the cat's terminal velocity? 🎢 ⚛️ 🐈
