Astronomy Education: an international perspective [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1997 Education is important to astronomers because it affects the recruitment and training of future astronomers, and because it affects the awareness, understanding and appreciation of astronomy by taxpayers and politicians who support us. We have an obligation to share the excitement and the significance of our work with students and the public. Education

Digital Astronomy in Education
International Journal of Online and Biomedical Engineering (iJOE), 2007 What causes seasons? Why day and night durations are so different with seasons? Why the position of the full moon seems directed to the south in summer while it seems directed to the north in winter? It is the purpose of this computer simulation to provide an interactive application, programmed in Java language to explore the issues related to the ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Moiré band engineering in graphene/hexagonal boron nitride–based superlattices unlocks van Hove singularities (VHSs) for terahertz (THz) optoelectronics. Tuning the Fermi level near these singularities, associated with secondary neutrality points (SNPs), enhances the photothermoelectric response.

Chirality and Organization of Adsorbates Modify Surface Phonon Dynamics
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Chirality and molecular organization are shown to influence surface phonon dynamics in gold films. Time‐resolved Joule heating measurements reveal that ordered homochiral monolayers increase the Debye temperature and disordered layers reduce it, while ordered racemic controls have no effect.
