A new study reveals that Srinivasa Ramanujan’s century-old formulas for calculating pi unexpectedly emerge within modern theories of critical phenomena, turbulence, and black holes. In school, many of ...

There has never been a more exciting time to study the exciting discipline of physics, spanning the workings of the sub-atomic world to the ever-expanding universe. The BS Physics Program in the ...

For nearly a century, dark matter has existed as a powerful idea rather than a directly observed substance, inferred from the ...

In the end, the Universe becomes a place where gravity and quantum physics slowly turn all mass into faint streams of particles.

You may never have heard of muons before, but these particles are crucial to our understanding of the universe. In a milestone study published Wednesday in the journal Nature, researchers announce ...

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, ...

The field of condensed matter physics explores the macroscopic and microscopic properties of matter. Condensed Matter physicists study how matter arises from a large number of interacting atoms and ...

Nearly nine out of ten campuses offering physics courses offer an algebra- and trigonometry-based course; nonetheless, this ...

You're sitting in physics class, working on a traditional problem involving forces and acceleration, when you start to wonder where these terms even came from. Were they just dreamed up to bring ...

Legendary investor and philanthropist William H. "Bill" Miller III has made a lead gift of $50 million in a combined $75 million philanthropic effort to support Johns Hopkins University's Department ...
