The Computer Scientist Who Builds Big Pictures From Small Details
...Statistical Physics of Computation Laboratory at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne. Her work currently focuses on how the physics of phase transitions in matter — such as water...
Physicists Reveal a Quantum Geometry That Exists Outside of Space and Time
...Coke and an inexhaustible enthusiasm for physics. Arkani-Hamed and his collaborators aspire to bring about a conceptual revolution of the sort that rocked physics in the late 1700s. Joseph-Louis Lagrange...
The Art of Teaching Math and Science
...in popularity among physics teachers. Modeling instruction won the 2014 Excellence in Physics Education Award from the American Physical Society and has been shown to yield higher scores than traditional...
She Turns Fluids Into ‘Black Holes’ and ‘Inflating Universes’
...“It’s mind-blowing how physics really works,” she told me recently. “It just seems like nature threw us a bone when things are really hard.” The hard physics that’s out of...
A Call for Courage as Physicists Confront Collider Dilemma
...All the world is built out of 17 known elementary particles. Carlo Rubbia led the team that discovered two of them. In 1984, Rubbia shared the Nobel Prize in Physics...
Hopes of Big Bang Discoveries Ride on a Future Spacecraft
...physics at the time, and his interests seemingly lay elsewhere. Particle physicists seek the more fundamental truth underpinning the physical rules we’re familiar with. They’ve long used high-energy particle colliders...
Starfish Whisperer Develops a Physical Language of Life
...to in physics, but I think that’s an exciting challenge. In the past, physics has shown that this approach of trying to understand a unit as more than the sum...
What Is a Particle?
...don’t conflict so much as capture different facets of the truth. They also described two major research thrusts in fundamental physics today that are pursuing a more satisfying, all-encompassing picture...
Nobel Prize Awarded for Quantum Topology
Three physicists were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics today for rewriting our understanding of exotic quantum states on the surfaces of materials. Their work explains the behavior of superconductors...
