We develop a non-perturbative numerical method to study tunneling of a single electron through an Aharonov-Bohm ring where several strongly interacting electrons are bound. Inelastic processes and spin-flip scattering are taken into…
Friction is a complex phenomenon that is of paramount importance in everyday life. We present an easy-to-build and inexpensive experiment illustrating Coulomb's law of kinetic friction. The so-called friction, or Timoshenko, oscillator…
The planar motion of a testing body in the field of gravity of the massive ring is studied. The "perihelion" precession due to non-relativistic reasons is demonstrated on this simple example of planar motion in the radially symmetric (in…

The properties and behaviour of a Ring Rydberg Composite are explicated. This system consists of a ring of ground state atoms centered on a Rydberg atom, whose electron elastically scatters off the ground state atoms. We transform the…
A permanent magnet levitating over a superconductor is found to spontaneously spin, overcoming resistance to air friction. We explain the physics behind this remarkable effect.
A novel method is proposed to determine the magnetic moment of a magnet by studying its free-falling motion inside a non-ferromagnetic and conducting pipe. The dynamics of a neodymium magnet falling inside a pipe is tracked by using sound…
