It is a matter for celebration when two illustrious theoreticians such as Kip Thorne and Roger Blandford provide an in-depth description of the fundamentals of classical physics. Modern Classical ...

Lowry Kirkby reviews The Theoretical Minimum: What You Need to Know to Start Doing Physics by Leonard Susskind and George Hrabovsky Thirst for physics: Leonard Susskind's popular series of lectures ...

Recent discoveries in the field of quantum physics have identified a new class of particles known as anyons, which hold the potential to bridge the gap between quantum mechanics and classical physics.

Presented by: Professor Orit Peleg, Department of Physics and Computer Science, University of Colorado Boulder 2:30 p.m. Abstract: Imagine a world where communication doesn't depend on words, but on ...

Growing dependence on science and technology in all areas of human life makes desirable the familiarity and knowledge with fundamental physics concepts without becoming a physics major. Physics ...

Researchers have discovered a potentially important piece of the quantum/classical puzzle -- learning how the rules of physics in the quantum world (think smaller than microscopic) change when applied ...

The concept of symmetry is rooted in daily life, apparent in the butterflies that migrate each spring, the buildings where we work and the music we play. But how did symmetry become so fundamental to ...

Quantum laws loom ever larger in physical world as new research finds quantum phenomena in effect on a molecular level. New research shows that movement of the ring-like molecule pyrrole over a metal ...

In the everyday world that humans experience, objects behave in a predictable way, explained by classical physics. One of the important aspects of classical physics is that nothing, not even ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Caltech president and pioneering physicist Thomas Rosenbaum, an expert in the promising field of quantum physics, will join Purdue University President Mung Chiang in April for ...

Abstract While the concept of “classical physics” has long framed our understanding of the environment from which modern physics emerged, it has consistently been read back into a period in which the ...

If you drop a light object and a heavy object from a tower, which one reaches the ground first? As you may recall from high school physics, this is a trick question. Neglecting air resistance, they ...
