The International Young Physicists' Tournament (IYPT) [1], sometimes referred to as the "Physics World Cup", is a scientific competition between teams of secondary school students. It mimics, as close as possible, the real-world scientific research and the process of presenting and defending the results obtained.
In August 2018, Ofqual announced that it had intervened to adjust the GCSE Science grade boundaries for students who had taken the "higher tier" paper in its new double award science exams and performed poorly, due to an excessive number of students in danger of receiving a grade of "U" or "unclassified".
Most Normal (Academic) students are offered at least 5 subjects, but may range to as many as 6 or 7 depending on the electives they take on and the school they are in. Mandatory subjects for Normal (Academic) students include English Language, Mathematics (Syllabus A), Mother Tongue Language, Combined Sciences and Combined Humanities.
The journal is considered one of the most prestigious in the field of physics. Over a quarter of Physics Nobel Prize-winning papers between 1995 and 2017 were published in it. [1] PRL is published both online and as a print journal. Its focus is on short articles ("letters") intended for quick publication. The Lead Editor is Hugues Chaté.
In January 2024, 56 papers were retracted. [ 14 ] In November 2024 and after previously strongly defending them, Cureus closed 6 of its "academic channels", which are effectively controlled by an outside entity that appoints “hand-picked editors [who] manage all content from submission to publication” and which many had associated with ...
The British Physics Olympiad (BPhO) is a series of ten competitions in the study of physics for students in years 11–13 in the United Kingdom. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] On a day-to-day basis, the BPhO is run by five committee members as well as a large team of volunteer physics teachers and academics from across the UK. [ 3 ]
Engineering physics (EP), sometimes engineering science, is the field of study combining pure science disciplines (such as physics, mathematics, chemistry or biology) and engineering disciplines (computer, nuclear, electrical, aerospace, medical, materials, mechanical, etc.).
The annus mirabilis papers (from Latin annus mīrābilis, "miraculous year") are four papers [a] that Albert Einstein published in the scientific journal Annalen der Physik (Annals of Physics) in 1905. As major contributions to the foundation of modern physics, these scientific publications were the ones for which he gained fame among ...
