Students in the third semester of the sophomore-level calculus-based physics sequence use the accelerator in three-hour atomic and nuclear collision (e.g., Rutherford scattering) experiments.

Quantum physics tells us that you can never have nothing at all-- there's always zero-point energy around, and the electron interacts with these zero-point fields. In the Feynman picture of these ...

Since the launch of the Large Hadron Collider, there has been ongoing research there into Higgs bosons and a search for traces of physics beyond the existing model of elementary particles.

A physics major studies questions about the universe while learning skills that prepare them for a variety of career paths. With technologies from X-rays to roller coasters involving physics ...

A team of theorists at Brookhaven National Laboratory calculated the distribution of electric charges in particles called mesons and used the calculates to help validate a widely used method for ...

Medical Physics is the application of physics to medicine. It uses physics concepts and procedures in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease. Medical Physics fulfils a key role in ...

Physics is the search for and application of rules that can help us understand and predict the world around us. Central to physics are ideas such as energy, mass, particles and waves. Physics ...
