Particle physics invented big, global science, and national and now global facilities. If history is any guide, nothing will prevent them from answering the big questions!

An analysis of Web of Science data spanning more than 100 years reveals the rapid growth and increasing multidisciplinarity of physics — as well its internal map of subdisciplines.

Few ideas in modern science have reshaped our understanding of reality more profoundly than space-time—the interwoven fabric ...

We also have people that specialize in experimental high energy physics as well as theoretical solid state physics. But science is still about building and testing models.

Real Physics Has Some Mind-Bending Answers Science says the universe could be a hologram, a computer program, a black hole or a bubble—and there are ways to check Victoria Jaggard September 15, 2014 ...

A survey of Scientific American’s century of quantum coverage helps explain the enduring popularity of strange physics ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. Sticking in the classical world, electricity and magnetism is an ...

The action in science after the 1970s shifted to biology, which, for many years, had been stuck to principles borrowed from physics, the chief of which is the search for simplicity at the heart of ...

A survey of more than 1,000 physicists finds deep disagreements in what quantum theories mean in the real world ...

In theoretical physics, naming — while often somewhat arbitrary — can be key to launching an obscure idea to a household name. So how does a particle or a theory acquire its name?

Kaons have several known common ways of decaying, but the one in this paper is so rare that scientists weren’t sure it existed before now. Their model predicted they’d see less than a quarter of one ...
