With a simple coil and an LED you cannot only detect the fields generated by NFC (Near-field communication), you can also rectify the signal to detect it in another phone's magnetometer with #phyphox.

Our students came up with a creative solution to measure a force with a smartphone and #phyphox.
In case you have missed our international phyphox conference among our 10y anniversary events: https://phyphox.org/10y-conference
Hope to see you in Aachen!
Our new paper "Real-time camera experiments with phyphox" has just been published at "Physics Education".
Celebrate 10 years of phyphox with us in September on three big events:
14.9. Die Jubiläumsshow
→ Experiments with @minkorrekt@chaos.social
24.9. The Conference
→ An international conference on smartphone experiments in STEM education
25.9. Die Sommerfortbildung
→ Our yearly teacher training
More on https://phyphox.org/10y (and in posts over the next months)
One week left to register for our international conference in Aachen on 24 September!
Don’t miss out - join us: https://phyphox.org/10y-conference
Free tickets are now available for our anniversary show (in German) with @minkorrekt@chaos.social

What your smartphone's accelerometer sees with phyphox while riding a swing ride. #phyphox
There is also a nice publication on this by A.-M. Pendrill: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0031-9120/51/1/015014
(And of course thanks to Toverland for allowing us to shoot there. Check out our long format video for measurements on roller coasters: https://youtu.be/VBNgNMhrT0Q)
How would you measure the rotation rate of a fidget spinner? Let's use your phone's magnetometer with #phyphox.
We are thrilled to receive the RWTH Aachen Special Teaching Award! For the phyphox team, this honor is a wonderful recognition of our work and of the many years of collaborative development behind the project.
Today we say goodbye to Jens after handling our public outreach for more than 5 years. While we're sad to see him leave we are optimistic to see more chances to work together in the future.
You can still reach him through his phyphox email address and of course his social media channels (@hcszt@d-64.social).
Our Portuguese phyphox ambassadors Carlos and Albino show how to use phyphox in the study of circular motion.
The smartphone physics challenge, https://vulgarisation.fr/smartphone-physics-challenge/?lang=en, by Julien Bobroff and others:
Am Dienstag ist die Herbsttagung MNU Nordrhein an der Universität zu Köln. Ab 11:30 Uhr zeigt Marija ihr phyphox-Kit, ein Rundum-Sorglos-Paket für Smartphone-Experimente im NaWi/Physik-Unterricht an weiterführenden Schulen. 🧑🔬

@radioscout@mastodon.social Neat idea. I assume calibrating the B field from a dipole can be a bit tricky, but so is getting the string in this setup here to not get stuck on the edge when there are small changes.
Wir haben … zwei–drei (h) Neue hier, auch einen gewissen Bildungsanspruch und alle etwas Lust auf Abenteuer? Vom Physics Girl gibt es ein schönes Video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFRPhi0jhGc, zu „Skateboarding Science“ und insbesondere zum „The Impossible“ Trick. 1/3

In German, we tend to say [fyˈfɒks]: the first syllable as in “Physik”
FAQ: How do you pronounce “phyphox”?
Am Sonntag endet der (offizielle) Anmeldezeitraum für unsere zwei Tage „Digitale Bildung mit phyphox 2025“ in Frankfurt am Main:
Schwerpunkt Hochschule: Do, 11.9.
Schwerpunkt: Schule Fr, 12.9.
Freitag sind schon so viele dabei, wie seit Beginn der Pandemie nicht mehr. Also vielleicht diesmal vielleicht wirklich:
