2+ mon, 1+ week ago  (323+ words) We have seen a steady increase in high school physics enrollments since the survey's inception in 1983, with one prior exception. The 2023-24 survey marks the first time physics enrollments declined while the number of high school seniors increased. Table 3 shows the…...

2+ mon, 1+ week ago  (231+ words) lead image Germanium single crystals (GSCs), valued for their electrical and optical applications, suffer from the effects of melt convection during crystal growth. Melt conventions introduce defects by disturbing the shape and temperature at the solid-liquid interface (SLI). Space-based microgravity…...
