A new gift establishes the Leinweber Forum for Theoretical Physics at Princeton University, which is now the 9th member of ...

Quantum science and AI research are big winners just a year after this U.S. funding giant slashed its Graduate Research Fellowship Program awards in half Researchers have developed a way to flip time ...

Isaac Newton would never have discovered the laws of motion had he studied only cats. Suppose you hold a cat, stomach up, and drop it from a second-story window. If a cat is simply a mechanical system ...

Jainendra K. Jain's theory of composite fermions belongs firmly in the second category.Born in rural Rajasthan and now the ...

All the tech we rely on, from cars to smartphones, was engineered using physics. You don’t need to know the science to use these things. But a well-rounded human should understand at least some of the ...

Physics is the study of the underlying laws and mechanisms explaining how the universe works. Most of what we do in daily life is based on a principle or law of physics—dealing with forces, motion, ...

Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for giving us the first split-second glimpse into the superfast world of spinning electrons, a field that could one day lead to better ...

For the first time, scientists have observed electrons in graphene behaving like a nearly perfect quantum fluid, challenging a long-standing puzzle in physics. By creating ultra-clean samples, the ...

Scientists awarded for light pulses that capture electron moves Findings could advance electronics and medical diagnostics Laureates share $1 million prize Second Nobel prize of this year's line-up ...

In July 2012, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe triumphantly announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, the long-sought linchpin of the subatomic world. Interacting with Higgs ...
