of Nuclear Science
- The ABC's of Nuclear
Science is a brief introduction to Nuclear Science. We look at Antimatter,
Beta rays, Cosmic connection and much more. Visit here and learn about
radioactivity - alpha, beta and gamma decay. Find out the difference between
fission and fusion. Learn about the structure of the atomic nucleus.

Einstein Online
- An Internet resource
guide to materials on Albert Einstein: his writings; general biographical
material; physics concepts; quotes, and pictures.
- The
Discovery of Radioactivity
- One hundred years
ago, a group of scientists unknowingly ushered in the Atomic Age. Driven
by curiosity, these men and women explored the nature and functioning of
atoms. Their work initiated paths of research which changed our understanding
of the building blocks of matter; their discoveries prepared the way for
development of new methods and tools used to explore our origins, the functioning
of our bodies both in sickness and in health, and much more.
- Physics
Department Museum
- The Physics Department
at The University of Queensland traces its origin back to the very beginning
of the University with the appointment in 1911 of Thomas Parnell, M.A.
(Cantab.), as lecturer. In spite of the move to St. Lucia in 1955 , many
reminders of the early days have survived (largely due to the foresight
of a few individuals), to form the nucleus of the collection of instruments,
books, and memorabilia which make up the Physics Museum.
