Setting aside the insane upheaval going on i n US science, this year’s Physics World Live series will give you a sense of what’s hot in physics right now.

The Moon’s most famous “sound” was never heard by human ears. It was traced instead in jagged lines on Apollo-era ...

Time travel has shifted from pure fantasy to a serious, if highly constrained, topic in modern physics. The equations that describe gravity, quantum fields and the structure of spacetime now allow ...

Physics is the study of the underlying laws and mechanisms explaining how the universe works. Most of what we do in daily life is based on a principle or law of physics—dealing with forces, motion, ...

This story is part of Short Wave's series Space Camp about all the weird, wonderful things happening in the universe. Check out the rest of the series. What does it take to launch into space? Other ...

John Hopfield, one of this year’s winners of the Nobel Prize in Physics, is a true polymath. His career started with probing the physics of solid states during the field’s heyday in the 1950s before ...

Doing physics is messy and being a physicist is even more complicated. Today, every physicist faces a complex reality of human and systemic factors when pursuing research: grant deadlines, peer-review ...

Two papers challenged the existence of theorized particles called sterile neutrinos that might account for mysteries like the cosmos’s dark matter. By Kenneth Chang Just how many types of neutrinos ...

We kickoff our series Space Camp with a look at space launches. What does hurtling into space feel like? What physics are involved? And what's the... From the physics of g-force to weightlessness: How ...
