An informal lecture decades ago at the University of Waterloo is changing the world today. When Mike Lazaridis was studying electrical engineering at UW, one of his professors, Lynn Watt, was a ...

In the Department of Living Matter Physics (LMP) we seek to fill a number of PhD positions - Statistical Physics and Active Matter. The Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization (MPI-DS) ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) My former academic institution discontinued my affiliation with them after members of the community complained about my criticism, on their research, and on academic conduct ...

It’s one thing when a respected scientist has a novel idea of what dark matter or dark energy might be, or what could explain spooky quantum phenomena like entanglement and superpositions. But the ...

In 1905, Einstein established relativity under the condition of denying the absolute space-time valid in Newtonian mechanics. In those days, the quantum theory was also established by accepting De ...

Physicists have used a machine-learning method to identify surprising new twists on the non-reciprocal forces governing a many-body system. The work is one of the relatively few instances of using AI ...

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in physics." The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may ...

The IAEA and the European Federation of Organisations for Medical Physics are strengthening cooperation on activities that promote the safe and effective use of ionizing radiation in medicine for ...

The Leinweber Foundation donated $18 million to the Berkeley Center for Theoretical Physics, renaming it to the Leinweber Institute for Theoretical Physics. The total donation of $90 million is shared ...
