What makes something quantum? This question has kept a small but dedicated fraction of the world's population—most of them ...

Bohr made numerous contributions to physics during his career, but it was his work on atomic structure and quantum theory that won him the 1922 Nobel Prize for Physics. (Courtesy: Sam Falconer, Debut ...

An early-career physicist mathematically connects timelike and spacelike form factors, opening the door to further insights ...

Werner Heisenberg’s seminal work on quantum theory, published in 1925, represented the dawn of a new era in physics ...

Physicists have long tried to model the chaotic phenomenon of turbulence. Now, a team has pioneered a new quantum ...

That just means we haven't found it yet. Physicists never thought they had the final theory. In the late 19th century, some physicists said that physics was petering out, that about everything had ...

But to understand how things work in the real world, quantum mechanics must be combined with other elements of physics – principally, Albert Einstein’s special theory of relativity ...

nuclear physics, theory of relativity and more, based on your areas of interest. The Physics Department encourages students to get involved in undergraduate research. Faculty specialize in a range of ...

Quantum mechanics — the most successful and important theory in modern physics — is like that. It works wonderfully, explaining things from lasers and chemistry to the Higgs boson and the ...
