Basic research in nuclear physics also provides essential input to astrophysics, atomic physics, and particle physics. Opening doors to completely new possibilities "I am incredibly excited to be able ...

“It’s neither possible nor survivable to travel near the speed of light relative to our good old Earth,” says Gerd Kortemeyer, emeritus associate professor of physics at Michigan State University.

Scientists have demonstrated a breakthrough application of neutral-atom quantum processors to solve problems of practical use. A collaboration between Harvard University with scientists at QuEra ...

A new theory claims to have solved five of the biggest problems in physics all at once. The theory was developed by a group of French physicists at the University of Paris-Saclay, and it introduces a ...

Solving life's great mysteries often requires detective work, using observed outcomes to determine their cause. For instance, nuclear physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Progress in the foundations of physics is moving slowly. And yet it moves. Today I look at the five biggest problems in physics, what their status is, and how long it will ...
