Cosmology is the study of the universe—how and when it began, how it moves and how fast, and how its forces interact with each other. It is the study of the balance between what we can’t see and what we can. Dr. Francis-Yan Cyr-Racine, assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, has spent his career theorizing about the mysteries of the universe with complex and precise physics. His new grant from the National Science Foundation is no exception. “Cosmology at a crossro...

I heard this morning the news that Steven Weinberg passed away yesterday at the age of 88.  He was arguably the dominant figure in theoretical particle physics during its period of great success from the late sixties to the early eighties.  In particular, his 1967 work on unification of the weak and electromagnetic interactions was a huge breakthrough, and remains to this day at the center of the Standard Model, our best understanding of fundamental physics. During the years 1975-79 when I wa...

Ut Austin mourns the death of famous physicist Stephen Weinberg July 25, 2021 by archyde AUSTIN, Texas – Nobel Prize winner Stephen Weinberg, professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Texas at Austin, has died. He was 88 years old. One of the most famous scientists of his generation, Weinberg is best known for helping develop an important part of the Standard Model of particle physics, which greatly advanced humanity’s understanding of how everything in the universe works – ...

Share MIT has granted tenure to five faculty members in the MIT School of Science in the departments of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, Chemistry, and Physics. Physicist Joseph Checkelsky investigates exotic electronic states of matter through the synthesis, measurement, and control of solid-state materials. His research aims to uncover new physical phenomena that expand the boundaries of understanding of quantum mechanical condensed matter systems and open doorways to new technologies by reali...

The xenon detector at the core of the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment Hundreds of global researchers, including from Imperial College London, are planning the most sensitive dark matter detector ever built. Dark matter makes up 85 percent of the matter in the Universe, but its nature remains a mystery, with several possible candidate particles. In addition, because it is predicted to interact only very weakly with ordinary matter, it has so far not been detected. If nature has been kind enough to put dar...

-- Anzeige -- Vor zwei Jahren hat Aston Martin das Konzeptauto Valhalla vorgestellt. Jetzt ist daraus ein Serienmodell geworden, das vermutlich in zwei Jahren auf den Markt kommt. Im Vergleich zur Studie wurde optisch und technisch einiges geändert. Beim Konzept war noch von einem gänzlich neuen V6-Benziner die Rede, der mit elektrischer Unterstützung über 1.000 PS bereitstellen sollte. Doch das ambitionierte Motorenprojekt haben die Briten mit Blick auf Euro 7 verworfen und sich stattdesse...

Big bang: how we are trying to ‘listen’ to it - and the new physics it could unveil But recombination acts like a wall we cannot directly probe earlier epochs with telescopes, as light was trapped at that time.Now several projects are trying to listen to the big bang using gravitational waves ripples in the very fabric of spacetime.

Dollars to come our way. a new era for really, really rich people, but it is a milestone to be sure. rachel crane, thank you very much. brianna? >> i want to know when well get to megabus prices. >> $49 and free wi-fi. >> exactly. lets bring in an astro physicist and a professor at george mason university. you know, this obviously gets a lot of attention, richard branson going to space. do you see this trip as ground breaking as he sees it? >> well, i dont know if i see it as ground breaking as ...
