Schoolmaster-Fellows and the campaign for science education
Until the middle of the nineteenth century, English schools and universities had little interest in science despite a growing awareness of industry's grave need for new ideas. Reform began in a few independent schools and was driven by a limited number of enthusiasts, who often went from their schools to be professors and to extend the process, especially in newly founded universities. The initial phase, lasting about 30 years, involved some two …

Foucault, His Pendulum and the Rotation of the Earth
Léon Foucault (1819–68) is best remembered for his 1851 pendulum demonstration of the Earth's rotation, but he made many notable contributions to nineteenth century science, including the gyroscope, measurements of the speed of light and development of the astronomical telescope in essentially its modern form. Foucault pendulums swing in science museums around the world: one of novel design has recently been installed in The Science Museum in Lon…

Rutherford – Simple Genius
Instability and Chaos Physical Models of Everyday Life
The study of instabilities has long been a central aspect of physical theories and experimental investigation. Chaotic behaviour is a more recently recognized general feature of physical systems, expecially hard-driven dynamical systems. This review describes physical models illustrating these phenomena and seeks to indicate their application to understanding a variety of problems outside physics. Thus, the occurrence of instabilities is advanced…
