His participation in the Simons Collaboration on Homological Mirror Symmetry, launched in late 2015, involves a field of mathematics inspired by theoretical physics. He and a postdoctoral research assistant professor, Andrew Harder, are representing the University of Miami in a multi-institutional project ...

Hansen was the key executive on the delivery of the Kavli Institute of Theoretical Physics visiting scholar residence, a $65 million project affiliated with UCSB. As well as leading the construction group, Hansen also serves on the company's senior management team. “Derek's ability to complete the best and ...

The College Scholar program allows students to design their own interdisciplinary majors, which typically focus on a range of topics and disciplines. The new class' projects range from food policy and identity politics to questions in theoretical physics and linguistic analysis. Scott Partington '20 is conducting ...

He joined the theoretical physics division at the Atomic Energy Research Establishment at Harwell in October 1956. At Harwell, Mr Schofield spent spent 20 years in the theoretical physics division working on problems related to the neutronics and cooling of the first generation of commercial nuclear power ...

Sugiyama Asuka, the sommelier with a PhD in theoretical physics, is a woman of action. Falling head over heels in love with both wine and Japan's own sake, she spends her life with the globe as her stage, commuting between Tokyo and Paris every two weeks to pursue her passion to convey the appeal ...

Ashok Aima, HVC, CU Jammu emphasized that Conference of such nature provides a great opportunity for the scientific community, not only to update knowledge and keep abreast with the latest developments in the field of experimental and theoretical physics, but also an occasion for the invited speakers, ...

Both theories are successful; but their apparent incompatibility is an open problem, and one of the current tasks of theoretical physics is to attempt to construct a conceptual framework in which they both work. Rovelli's field of loop theory, or loop quantum gravity, offers a possible answer to the problem, ...

"The performance of a computing centre depends primarily on how much heat can be dissipated," says Renato Renner, Professor for Theoretical Physics and head of the research group for Quantum Information Theory. Renner's statement can be illustrated by the Bitcoin boom: it is not computing capacity ...

They are constructed in such a way that chaos – this is how theoretical physics describes dynamics in which disturbances grow exponentially – is avoided, otherwise the measurement of parameters becomes unpredictable or even impossible. But quantum sensors follow other laws: Quantum chaos is not at ...

Dowling, co-chair of LSU's Hearne Institute for Theoretical Physics and the Hearne Chair Professor of Theoretical Physics in the LSU Department of Physics & Astronomy, is participating on a team of researchers from University of California, Berkeley; Dartmouth University; Duke University; Johns Hopkins ...

“Dick Feynman relished the pleasure of finding things out, and he had a remarkable knack for conveying the excitement of science to a general audience,” says John P. Preskill, Richard P. Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at Caltech. “We hope this event will capture some of that boundless curiosity ...

“Ableist” and “offensive” were two of the epithets disability-rights activists heaped upon Gadot. “Disablement is not shameful, bigotry is,” one tweeter lectured. They pointed out that Hawking himself had once said, “My disabilities have not been a significant handicap in my field, which is theoretical physics.

“Our computations took a broader view of the phenomenon, revealing stability.” The team's work is important for string theory because of the prominent role played by extreme black holes in this theory, as well as other areas of theoretical physics. “In addition, our computational methods may be used to shed ...

“Is the end in sight for theoretical physics?” by Hawking appeared in 1981 in Physics Bulletin, which was the predecessor to Physics World. He investigated whether by 2000 “we might have a complete, consistent and unified theory of the physical interactions which would describe all possible observations” ...

WASHINGTON -- Stephen Hawking won accolades from his peers for having one of the most brilliant minds in science, but he never got a Nobel Prize because no one has yet proven his ideas. The Nobel committee looks for proof, not big ideas. Hawking was a deep thinker -- a theorist -- and his musings ...

Stephen Hawking, who has died aged 76, managed to transcend the divide between scientific exoticism and popular culture. He was a giant among the select band of late-20th century theoretical physicists contemplating the origins and mysteries of the universe. But he also achieved celebrity status, ...

In his lifetime, Einstein was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for physics in 1922 for his work in theoretical physics including his work on the law of the photoelectric effect, which he discovered, according to Nobel Media. In addition to the research that won Einstein the Nobel, he also published papers on ...

One of the most cutting-edge theories in theoretical physics, the holographic principle, holds holds that the universe is 3D image projected off a 2D surface, much like a hologram emerges from a sheet of photographic film. “In my view, the discovery of holographic entanglement and its generalizations has ...

Or, alternatively, ask associate professor of physics Matthew Headrick about his research. Headrick works on one of the most cutting-edge theories in theoretical physics—the holographic principle. It holds that the universe is a three-dimensional image projected off a two-dimensional surface, much like a ...

Topological insulators are new materials that have been studied by many research groups around the world for more than 10 years. The main advantage of such materials is the presence of dissipationless states at the sample boundary under certain symmetry conditions, while the bulk material retains the ...

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of its founding, the Center for Theoretical Physics (CTP) hosted a symposium on Saturday, March 24. "CTP50: The Center for Theoretical Physics: The First Fifty Years" brought together present and former members of the CTP as well as friends, supporters, and others ...
