Three scientists shared the Nobel Prize in physics for demonstrating how quantum mechanics work on a new scale, with potential implications for the next generation of quantum technology. The winners ...

For many of us, advanced physics can be tough to understand to begin with, which makes it all the more impressive whenever someone earns a Nobel Prize for advancing the field even further. The latest ...

In 1900, German theoretical physicist Max Planck accidentally gave birth to the field of quantum mechanics (aka quantum physics) when he tried to investigate why the results of his black body ...

A trio of professors in the U.S. won the Nobel Prize in physics for work that enabled the creation of macroscopic quantum systems, a foundation of quantum computers and other technology. John Clarke, ...

Roger Penrose could easily be excused for having a big ego. A theorist whose name will be forever linked with such giants as Hawking and Einstein, Penrose has made fundamental contributions to physics ...

With an applied physics: mechanics degree, you’ll combine physics principles with the design experience of mechanical engineering as you prepare for graduate school or industry work. Become who you’re ...
