I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. Sabine Hossenfelder has a new blog post in her ongoing series about how she thinks fundamental physics is on the wrong track, this one ...

A groundbreaking body of work led by Monash University physicists has opened a new pathway for understanding the universe's ...

Why is unification so important? Weinberg: Unification is where it's at. The whole aim of fundamental physics is to see more and more of the world's phenomena in terms of fewer and fewer and ...

This rigorous explanation of plasmas is relevant to diverse plasma applications such as controlled fusion, astrophysical plasmas, solar physics, magnetospheric ... this text emphasizes the fundamental ...

Assistant Professor of Physics, Astronomy and Geophysics Daniel Maser’s postdoctoral research focused on performing precision measurements on heavy atoms, such as indium and lead, as tests of ...

What is the mass of a neutrino at rest? This is one of the big unanswered questions in physics. Neutrinos play a central role in nature. A team led by Klaus Blaum, Director at the Max Planck ...

High Energy physics studies the properties and interactions of fundamental particles in nature to understand the fundamental physics and evolution of the Universe. These studies strongly overlap with ...

The interplay between topology, symmetry, and correlations in these systems opens up exciting avenues for fundamental physics and materials science. The integration of topological crystals with other ...

(offered as 95.548 for graduate credit) An introduction to the most fundamental area of physics: the nature of motion, what affects it, and how it is measured. We examine Newton's laws, including the ...
