The Materials Scientist Who Studies the Innards of Exoplanets
...a laboratory for mineralogy and high-pressure physics, and that’s basically how I started working in high-pressure physics. What sparked your attraction to it? In everyday life, you experience the changes...
How Radio Astronomy Reveals the Universe
Radio waves, longer and less energetic than visible light, give astronomers access to some of the most obscure physics in the cosmos. If you ask an astronomer to choose the...
Physicists Study How Universes Might Bubble Up and Collide
...“Because it’s an experiment, it contains by definition all the physics that nature wants to put in it including quantum effects and classical effects,” Peiris said. Peiris leads a team...
New Proof Distinguishes Mysterious and Powerful ‘Modular Forms’
Using “refreshingly old” tools, mathematicians resolved a 50-year-old conjecture about how to categorize important functions called modular forms, with consequences for number theory and theoretical physics. In a new proof,...
In Search of Cracks in Albert Einstein’s Theory of Gravity
...and the United Kingdom; then, at 29, she was invited back to Mexico to run the theoretical physics department of the Mesoamerican Center for Theoretical Physics. A few years later,...
The Mathematical Structure of Particle Collisions Comes Into View
...Their method may help bring about new levels of predictive accuracy, which theorists desperately need if they are to move beyond the leading but incomplete model of particle physics. “They...
The Case Against Dark Matter
...he says it’s too soon to tell whether everything in the paper — which draws from quantum information theory, thermodynamics, condensed matter physics, holography and astrophysics — hangs together. Either...
Troubled Times for Alternatives to Einstein’s Theory of Gravity
...September 2017, he was at the Institute for Theoretical Physics in Saclay, near Paris, to speak at a meeting about dark energy and modified gravity. The official news had not...
What Can Jellyfish Teach Us About Fluid Dynamics?
...physics. And so there was a movement that emerged, now a couple of decades ago, to say: Why don’t we study some animal systems that have already figured it out,...
