What is quantum physics? Put simply, it’s the physics that explains how everything works: the best description we have of the nature of the particles that make up matter and the forces with which they ...

This persnickety number determines the strength of magnetic fields. It figures in everything from motors and generators to ...

A new advancement in theoretical physics could, one day, help engineers develop new kinds of computer chips that might store information for long periods of time in very small objects.

Kai Sun of the University of Michigan is a humble physics professor with ambitious goals. "I'm mainly a paper-and-pencil type of theorist, doing analytical calculations mostly," Sun said. "My ...

Now we can go back to the original question: What does the work-energy principle say about stairs versus a stair-climbing machine? Well, we already did the physics of stair climbing.

“This year’s two Nobel Laureates in physics have used tools from physics to develop methods that are the foundation of today’s powerful machine learning,” the ...

Your work in the 1970s with Martinus Veltman is celebrated in part because of its importance for the Standard Model of particle physics, the most well-tested and successful scientific theory ever ...

Associate physics professor Bogdan Andrei Bernevig and former University professor Arthur McDonald were recognized for their work in physics on Sunday – Bernevig was awarded the 2016 New Horizons in ...

Quantum mechanics depicts a counter-intuitive reality in which the act of observation influences what is observed — and few can agree on what that means.

The prize was awarded to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier for their research studying the behavior of electrons at a tiny time scale.
