On February 27, the Department of Physics will welcome Dr. Stephon Alexander to present the annual Kaczmarczik Lecture, one of the College of Arts and Sciences’ signature events. In his lecture, "The ...

Let’s talk about quantum gravity experiments that can be done here on Earth! If we discover how to connect quantum mechanics with general relativity we’ll pretty much win physics. There are multiple ...

The University of Colorado Boulder physics department is happy to welcome Dr. Chris Akers as the newest faculty member! Akers, an assistant professor of physics, has already made a name for himself in ...
