With a mission to harmonize and advance medical physics in terms of the field’s professional, clinic and scientific expression across Europe, the federation applies physics to healthcare to benefits ...

A researcher throws cold water on a recent effort that purported to eliminate black holes' greatest and most enduring mystery — the existence of their central singularity.

A new book on quantum physics is pleasingly full of cutting-edge topics. Yet it isn't the accessible work it promised to be ...

Computer simulations of high-energy particles are pushing the boundaries of what we can learn about the interactions that happen inside particle colliders ...

Muons’ magnetism matches theory, easing an enduring physics conundrum New results mend a decades-old crack in the standard model of particle physics, but some questions remain ...

Madrid knew solar and wind power were unreliable but pressed ahead anyway.

Researchers from the University of Waterloo have achieved a feat previously thought to be impossible—getting a sphere to roll down a totally vertical surface without applying any external force.

It appears that we live on the knife-edge, where only the narrowest combination of values for the fundamental constants allow life, and especially conscious life, to arise.

Physicists have long tried to mesh gravity with the standard model of physics by, in a sense, comparing like with like—how can we describe gravity using measurable things in a way that aligns ...

Modern thinking machines owe their existence to insights from the physics of complex materials.

Dr. Mathijssen also plans to continue exploring the many paths to perfect coffee, such as the physics behind the formation of the milk and espresso layers in a latte.

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