The everyday use of a GPS device might be to find your way around town or even navigate a hiking trail, but for two physicists, the Global Positioning System might be a tool in directly detecting and ...

IT’S ALL PHYSICS. How things work, that is. Well, maybe a little chemistry too in some cases. I might be a little biased in my opinion given that I’m an applied physicist by training. Radio? Satellite ...

The Earth's atmosphere has been used as a 'laboratory' to carry out a physics experiment which could help to improve the performance of GPS. The Earth's atmosphere has been used as a 'laboratory' to ...

GPS Physics teacher Bryant Haynes makes full use of Coolidge Park just a short walk away from the GPS campus. On Thursday morning he took his class of 10 to the park’s carousel for work on a “circular ...
