This study engages with the impact of modern technology on experimental physicists. It reveals how the ever-increasing scale and complexity of apparatus has distanced physicists from the very science which drew them into experimenting, and has fragmented microphysics into differ…

String and Sticky Tape Experiments brings together a host of experiments demonstrating fundamental physics laws in a practical way that students can work with on their own. Materials are deliberately chosen for their simplicity, availability, and low cost, so they can be done at…
