Learn about physics, a science that introduces you to the underlying laws and mechanisms for how the universe works, why you should study physics.

Particle physics invented big, global science, and national and now global facilities. If history is any guide, nothing will prevent them from answering the big questions!

Seventy years ago, in Osmond Laboratory on Penn State's University Park campus, Erwin W. Müller, Evan Pugh Research Professor ...

An analysis of Web of Science data spanning more than 100 years reveals the rapid growth and increasing multidisciplinarity of physics — as well its internal map of subdisciplines.

My guests are Mario Krenn – who heads the Artificial Scientist Lab at Germany’s Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light ...

Real Physics Has Some Mind-Bending Answers Science says the universe could be a hologram, a computer program, a black hole or a bubble—and there are ways to check Victoria Jaggard September 15, 2014 ...

A survey of Scientific American’s century of quantum coverage helps explain the enduring popularity of strange physics ...

We also have people that specialize in experimental high energy physics as well as theoretical solid state physics. But science is still about building and testing models.

I like bringing him into my science-writing seminar because my students love hearing him riff, with great enthusiasm and candor, about physics and other science-related topics.

In theoretical physics, naming — while often somewhat arbitrary — can be key to launching an obscure idea to a household name. So how does a particle or a theory acquire its name?

Kaons have several known common ways of decaying, but the one in this paper is so rare that scientists weren’t sure it existed before now. Their model predicted they’d see less than a quarter of one ...
