The Shepard Tone : an infinite rise… or almost You're surely familiar with the Penrose staircase illusion, the seemingly endless staircase popularized by the artist M.C. Escher. But are you familiar with the Shepard Tone, an acoustic illusion conceived in the 1960s by the American psychologist Roger Shepard, which creates the impression that a sound rises—or falls—without ever reaching a peak? Let's explore and analyze this astonishing sound effect with the FizziQ app. The Or

You have probably already tried to disturb a compass by bringing a magnet close to it, but have you ever tried the same experiment with your smartphone's electronic compass? In the video below, we conducted the experiment, and the result is surprising: the smartphone's compass appears to be unaffected by the presence of a magnet. Why such behavior? As a scientist, can we trust the magnetometer data? And what are the implications for measuring magnetic fields with a smartphone

The greenhouse effect, at the origin of the phenomenon of global warming, is difficult to show by simple experiments. Many proposals are however available on the internet but few are really reproducible and many give poor physical representations of the phenomenon [1] . This article offers practical methods and accessible tools to help teachers and educators explain this phenomenon in an engaging way. A popular greenhouse effect experiment - The challenges of the greenhouse
