Ann Nelson Took On the Biggest Problems in Physics
...postdocs and faculty from around the world. Particle physics, particularly theoretical particle physics, can be an incredibly competitive field, but anyone who worked with her would say that Ann was...
Nathan Seiberg on How Math Might Complete the Ultimate Physics Theory
...a lot of cross-fertilization between what today we call math and physics. [Isaac] Newton is a great example. He was motivated by physics when he invented calculus. Over the 20th...
Physics Duo Finds Magic in Two Dimensions
...dubbed it) was a whole new category of substance — a 2D material. Its discovery transformed condensed matter physics, the branch of physics that seeks to understand the many forms...
Contemplating the End of Physics
Has physics reached the limits of what we can discover — or are the possibilities only just beginning? Is physics finished? The 21st century is often called the age of...
The Man Making Rwanda Into a Hub for Physics
...partner institute, the International Center for Theoretical Physics in Italy. But another thing I can say, from my past experiences working in Nigeria, is that theoretical physics is the cheapest...
Three Major Physics Discoveries and Counting
...the physics prize in the intervening 55 years is Sau Lan Wu. Wu is the Enrico Fermi Distinguished Professor of Physics at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and an experimentalist...
The Mystery at the Heart of Physics That Only Math Can Solve
The accelerating effort to understand the mathematics of quantum field theory will have profound consequences for both math and physics. Over the past century, quantum field theory has proved to...
There Are No Laws of Physics. There’s Only the Landscape.
Scientists seek a single description of reality. But modern physics allows for many different descriptions, many equivalent to one another, connected through a vast landscape of mathematical possibility. Suppose Alice...
Seeing Emergent Physics Behind Evolution
...model the system and reproduce what people see in experiments. Knowing the biology actually helped us understand the physics. What are the limitations to a physics-based approach to biology? On...
