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 ...

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 ...
