A list of simple and fun facts of physics for you to digest!

The concept of entanglement links far-flung particles. That relationship can prove that someone is in the location they claim ...

Crystals, bacterial colonies, flame fronts: the growth of surfaces was first described in the 1980s by the ...

By feeding students the mysteries and wonder of modern physics, Don Lincoln hopes to ‘blow their minds.’ ...

I will then discuss how these methods can be leveraged to implement topological braiding operations by encircling exceptional points in the spectrum of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. Bio: Hugo Ribeiro is ...

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, ...

The results are just what theory predicts, but when the theory clashes as strongly with everyday experience as this, ...

In the 1920s, when quantum mechanics was young, physicists Jane Dewey and Laura Chalk performed some of the first experimental tests of the theory, based on a phenomenon called the Stark effect. Later ...

A proposed funding program for small- and medium-scale projects reveals insights into the science, logistical challenges, and future of particle physics research. Particle physicists have a reputation ...

Students heading to class in the Duane Physics and Astrophysics building now have a glimpse into the world’s largest particle detectors in a new mural painted by Veronica Keff. A senior in ...
