Emmy Noether showed that fundamental physical laws are just a consequence of simple symmetries. A century later, her insights ...

Many science fiction authors try to incorporate scientific principles into their work, but Ian Tregillis, who is a contributing author of the Wild Cards book series when he's not working as a ...

As an example with societal issues, the study of the ultrafast kinetics following matter excitation by high-energy particles is a major subject in radiation physics and in nuclear technology ...

The focus is on understanding complex phenomena from gas phase molecular dynamics, to nanoscale, mesoscale, and biological phenomena, through model systems and fundamental physical principles. These ...

In quantum physics, subatomic particles behave strangely—they can be in two places simultaneously, move through solid objects ...
