This is a Blast from the Past posting salvaged from the embers of my old website. Over the holiday weekend we had a family dilemma. Everyone wanted to play Clue, but no one wanted to go out in the holiday traffic to purchase the game. Fortunately, we found two people willing to walk to a […]
Capacitance of Concentric Cylinders
In this topic we will calculate the capacitance of a system of concentric cylindrical shells. The next figure presents the geometry of this topic. Two conducting and concentric cylindrical shells, infinitely long, constitute a system that some capacitance, C. Begin by noting that we can only determine the capacitance per unit length, C/L, because the […]
Taking the LAMP course at UCSD Extension; I had no idea there was so much theory and best-practice procedure aimed at the scientist-to-manager population.
A colleague just had a fast ion physics paper selected as a Highlight (i.e., Scilight) by AIP. Vinicius did this work as a graduate student and it’s clear that he is a skilled theorist.
One of our former SULI students just won the APS History Essay Contest with an essay describing the early magnetic confinement fusion research that identified the importance of plasma shaping on performance. Read full essay at APS News.
