By bringing the long-standing and opposing views of quantum mechanics together to form a single cohesive theory, a research ...

The Leinweber Foundation donated $18 million to the Berkeley Center for Theoretical Physics, renaming it to the Leinweber Institute for Theoretical Physics. The total donation of $90 million is shared ...

Physicists have proposed a bizarre theoretical bubble in which the normal rules of space and time no longer apply. Inside it, matter could effectively move faster than light without technically ...

Steven Girvin, a theoretical physicist and pioneer in the field of quantum physics, was recently named the Sterling Professor of Physics and professor of applied physics, effective immediately. A ...

Perimeter Institute began in the summer of 1999 when Mike Lazaridis, founder and Co-CEO of Research In Motion (RIM), maker of the successful BlackBerry, found himself in a position to help foster ...

To answer odd questions, physicists have odd ideas. An elegant new equation identifies the surprisingly orderly, mathematical way in which things break, shatter, and fall apart. At the turn of the ...

In the rarefied world of theoretical physics, where Albert Einstein’s shadow still looms large, Harvard University and ...

Researchers have demonstrated that intense laser fields, particularly at low frequencies, can significantly enhance nuclear ...
