Physics is the study of the underlying laws and mechanisms explaining how the universe works. Most of what we do in daily life is based on a principle or law of physics—dealing with forces, motion, ...

Does learning about quantum physics freak you out? A new book aims to change that, and just in time. The second quantum revolution is coming: superconductors that could revolutionise clean energy ...

Time travel has shifted from pure fantasy to a serious, if highly constrained, topic in modern physics. The equations that describe gravity, quantum fields and the structure of spacetime now allow ...

Machine learning is becoming an essential part of a physicist’s toolkit. How should new students learn to use it? When Radha Mastandrea started her undergraduate physics program at MIT in 2015, she ...

Growing up in the US during the oil embargo of the early 1970s, I was bombarded by public service announcements encouraging people to conserve energy. But at a very young age, I also read that “energy ...

College professors these days face an ever-higher bar to grab the attention of their students, forced to compete with the stimuli of smartphones and laptops in large lecture halls. But when your ...

The University of Delaware’s Department of Physics and Astronomy offers an undergraduate major program leading to the B.S. in physics, with the option of a concentration in astronomy/astrophysics, as ...

Foothill College physics instructors Frank Cascarano and David Marasco are gearing up to create fire using mirrors, drop eggs without breaking, blow smoke from their mouths, lie on beds of nails and ...
