A Closer, Colorful Look at Smartphone SCreens
Color Mixing with LCD and AMOLED
Looking at your smartphone with a microscope...
You might have noticed that white backgrounds generated by various mobile devices are not equally white. This is because smartphones today are dependent upon one of a number of ways that they produce light, generally using liquid crystal display (LCD) or active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED)...
Additionally, see the YouTube video below for a fantastic explanation of how traditional LCD screens work, and how basic physics of light/color and electricity produce colorful images:

Physics Toolbox Accelerometer Used with a Shake Table
Shake tables are used in both formal and informal learning settings to model the effects of earthquakes on various architectural structures. The Spanish-language video below showcases the work of a student at university in Puerto Rico.
Physics Toolbox in the News
We are always curious to learn about how Physics Toolbox is being employed in education and industry around the world. Here are a few snippets!
Physics Toolbox showed up in a Taiwanese physics education journal, displayed as a useful tool for various studies of classical mechanics. on low-friction carts/tracks (video) and in an elevator (video).
Physics Toolbox used in a risky(!) but interesting Italian experiment to detect the passage of a car by the changing magnetic field.
