Precision shapes modern life in ways often taken for granted. Navigation systems guide travel, medical scans reveal hidden ...

The question of how gravity interacts with the quantum world has long perplexed physicists, but a non-quantum theory of space ...

There hasn’t been a lot of great news in the classical music world of late. The Metropolitan Opera is in grim financial straits. President Donald Trump has run the Kennedy Center into the ground and ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a method that uses a single ion to detect electromagnetic fields above a surface and to create a three-dimensional map of them. In the future, this approach ...

July 3, 2026 Researchers have created quantum control techniques that can make a system appear to run backward in time. By precisely managing quantum measurements, they can reshape the system's arrow ...

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 ...

Plasma physics is the study of charged particles and fluids interacting with self-consistent electric and magnetic fields. It is a basic research discipline that has many different areas of ...

The marble statues of ancient gods that fill so many museums used to be brightly painted. Do you want to understand the world of antiquity in all of its colorful complexity? In the classics major, you ...

Quantum physics is the study of matter and energy at its most fundamental level. A central tenet of quantum physics is that energy comes in indivisible packets called quanta. Quanta behave very ...

When a high-intensity laser interacts with plasma, the charged particles typically oscillate back and forth like waves on the ocean. But what if the laser itself could twist like a whirlpool?

Condensed-matter physics is the study of substances in their solid state. This includes the investigation of both crystalline solids in which the atoms are positioned on a repeating three-dimensional ...

The Martin A. Fisher School of Physics enjoys an international reputation for excellence in research, and is one of the highest-ranked of its size in the country. The department offers rigorous ...
