60秒科学节目（SSS）是科学美国人网站的一套广播栏目，英文名称：Scientific American – 60 Second Science,节目内容以科学报道为主，节目仅一分钟的时间，主要对当今的科学技术新发展作以简明、通俗的介绍，对于科学的发展如何影响人们的生活环境、健康状况及科学技术，提供了大量简明易懂的阐释。
Hall of Famer Ted Williams once famously commented that hitting a baseball is the hardestthing to do in sports.
Although Williams—a .344 career hitter—made it look easy, he had a point.
Hitting a round ball with a round bat squarely is difficult.
It’s also an excellent example of some very entertaining applied physics.
No surprise then that professional baseball players are turning to science to improve theirmultimillion–dollar strokes.
Some approaches focus on the neuroscience of hitting—the deep internal brain mechanismsbehind seeing the pitch and reacting to it.
But for more info about the swing itself, a sports tech company called Zepp Labs makes asensor that can help break down those mechanics.
The sensor sits in the knob of the company’s so–called “Smart Bat” and uses twoaccelerometers and a three–axis gyroscope to measure bat speed, hand speed, attack angleand other factors.
The sensor, which weighs only about eight grams, sends this info to a smartphone app viaBluetooth.
The app can then use this data to have an onscreen avatar reenact the swing, in the hopethat the batter can pick up some details and make the necessary adjustments.
Zepp’s sensors can also be fitted to golf clubs and tennis rackets.
Never one to mince words, Ted Williams also once said that pitchers were “the stupidest peoplealive.”
Hmm, maybe somebody could come up with a smart baseball to help them.
Against any Ted Williamses out there, anyway.
