Here is classic (and difficult) physics problem that poses an interesting question: Take two points in space, Point 1 and Point 2. What is the path from point 1 to 2 that a frictionless object could ...

May 6—JENNIFER BANEY'S physics classroom at Bedford High School is a laboratory of learning. Her students ask lots of questions, try all sorts of things that might work and solve problems in groups.

In a 2006 book that garnered much press for its silly attacks on string theory, author and physicist Lee Smolin provides a list of “The Five Great Problems in Theoretical Physics.” There are many ...

WHEN we were 16 years old, my friend Karen and I were interviewed for an educational video. With our hair thick with styling mousse, pale blue eyeliner and misplaced teen swagger, we explained why we ...

Basic research in nuclear physics also provides essential input to astrophysics, atomic physics, and particle physics. Opening doors to completely new possibilities "I am incredibly excited to be able ...

A mathematical problem underlying fundamental questions in particle and quantum physics is provably unsolvable, according to scientists. It is the first major problem in physics for which such a ...
