I love my new flat, but I'm getting headaches. There's not a lot of ventilation and I have a sense that just my breathing might be enough to alter my …

We explore the realities of melting ice caps—examining how sea levels might rise and the implications for our world. Is this a critical juncture for …

I saw the most spectacular rainbow not long ago and wondered whether I could simulate it 🤔. I decided that, with the help of GPT, it would be totally doable and …

GPT and I built a interactive particle simulation with constraints - each particle must stay equidistant from two other particles. It took just a few hours to …

So, picture a landfill. It's essentially a gaping hole that swallows our waste, an insatiable beast. But exactly how insatiable is it? How gigantic are these …

Have you ever daydreamed about leading a self-sufficient life, growing all your food on a patch of land? It's an alluring fantasy, isn't it? But how feasible is …

Picture this – you're in a bustling city, London, to be precise, with a pickle in hand 🥒. Now imagine every pickle consumed in London over the span of a year, …

And, we get to add another tool to our toolbox today - scientific notation. It might sound a little complicated if you're new to it, but trust me, you'll soon …

Today is all about doing your first guesstimate. We'll do it by embarking on a cool thought experiment together – trying to estimate the distance to the centre …

In this series, I'll show you how not to stress about big, impossible sounding problems, like "how many people are picking their nose right now?". The secret is …

This collection of tutorials is dedicated to exploring the quantum behaviour of particles moving under the influence of a confining potential - a "quantum box". …

The Project Ida team and I have created a series of computational tutorials in the form of Python-based Jupyter notebooks on two state quantum systems. Nobel …

The process of applying for EU money is (as with many grant applications) very involved. It does however, provide a good opportunity to condense your thoughts …

It's been some months since the Deuterium drama almost put a stop to my cold fusion experiments. Luckily, I was still able to run a couple of experiments in …

Have you ever thought about a world where nuclear energy doesn't mean radiation and toxic waste? Sounds like a far-fetched idea, right? In the video above, we …

To my surprise, it is only very recently that Stern-Gerlach interferometer experiments are being considered practical enough to implement and yet they are used …

Imagine a future where households and businesses generate their own clean energy. No more reliance on massive power plants, no more coal, oil, or even solar and …

In this post I've embedded an Obvservable notebook that I'm trying out as an easy way to visualise the loading of deutereium into palladium in my experiments. …

It was all going so well! Alas, I had not factored in some important chemistry that slowly clogged up my deutereium generator over the Christmas break 😫.

It's been 3 months since I did my first cold fusion experiment. I've open sourced my research, been on a cold fusion conference, made some new collaborators and …

Yesterday I did my first cold fusion experiment. I've been working up to this since 2017. Needless to say I was incredibly excited. Did I make cold fusion …

If you've been following me @CasualPhysics on Twitter, then you will have seen the rather large spanner in the works for my Les Case replication experiments.

What's really interesting about these fluid dynamics experiments is that they appear to produce similar behaviour as seen in quantum mechanics 🤯. This result …

A month ago, I committed myself to making some local cold fusion connections by placing somewhat cryptic posters in London university physics departments. One …

I'm very grateful to cold fusion veteran Prof. Peter Hagelstein - he's pointed me in the direction of the right rabbit hole in which I'm now learning a lot. He …

As with many people, cold fusion was thrust into my awareness in 2011 when Andrea Rossi claimed to have demonstrated cold fusion using nickel and hydrogen. …

The walls of physics departments are often lined with poster contributions from old conferences. The vast majority go without so much as a glance from visitors …

To reach extreme fusion temperatures, energetic beams of particles are injected. Once the plasma “ignites”, energetic fusion products should heat the plasma in …

One of the original concepts for a fusion reactor involved the use of electric fields from spherical charged wire grids - something now known as a Fusor.

Inspired by advances in both web and mobile technologies, I created the Play with Particles webapp. The user is able to control the motion of particles through …

BOT is a Matlab tool for studying the electrostatic instability in the bump-on-tail problem in plasma physics. I originally created this tool in 2011 as part of …
