A virtual laboratory under development at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro aims to let students experiment with physics concepts without physically being in a lab. Computer simulations ...

The virtual lab is kind of a “flight simulator” or quantum physics. There are programs that can guide students through concepts like delocalized complex molecules, with virtual experiments similar to ...

Physicist Peter Littlewood is the founding chair of the Faraday Institution, which was set up in 2017 as the UK’s “virtual national laboratory” for energy storage science and technology. He speaks to ...

Science is a subject built on doing. Students learn chemistry through titrations, biology through dissections, physics through motion experiments, and earth science through field observations. That ...

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Education is an important part of Building A Better Bay Area. The California State University system has found a high tech solution to replace hands-on lab experiments for ...

explosion and the shattering glass don’t distress her. She simply clicks her computer mouse a few times and starts over. Ms. Ellison’s laboratory section relies on computer simulations, rather than on ...

In this webinar, we will address the need for virtual and hybrid learning labs brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, providing the lab component for Introductory Physics II taught in a remote, ...

Many lab classes will now have students perform online simulations or watch videos of professors and TAs completing the labs. Credit: Melanie Hilman On Monday, Penn students attended class virtually ...

A virtual laboratory allows, for the first time, to actively engage with topical quantum physics. The novel learning environment was developed in time for the start of the new term, and the virtual ...

Confronted with the explosive popularity of online learning, researchers are seeking new ways to teach the practical skills of science. The academic world is in upheaval over MOOCs: massive open ...
