Twice every year, the University of Chicago’s Enrico Fermi Institute sponsors the Arthur Holly Compton lecture series, which provide the public an inside look at the questions about the universe with ...

A series of free lectures at the University of Chicago will describe how the machines that physicists have built to understand matter on the smallest scales over the last century have found additional ...

This is the first article in a two-part series discussing innovative teaching techniques in college physics classes. Today's installment will focus on interactive programs instated at other ...

Ask professors about important physics lectures, and they'll probably point you toward Richard Feynman's famous 1964 talks. They led to one of the most popular physics books ever (over 1.5 million ...

Physics seminars serve as a dynamic platform where researchers and scholars come together to exchange knowledge, discuss cutting-edge discoveries, and delve into the intricacies of the physical world.

Presented by: Professor Paul Beale 2:30 p.m. Abstract: Science is a human endeavor. The discovery that the Universe began abruptly 13.8 billion years ago is one of the great scientific stories of the ...

In modern physics, we have learned to formulate the laws for the behavior of matter, and for the large-scale organization of matter, in terms of standard models incorporating a very few parameters. We ...

This is the second article in a two-part series examining teaching techniques in college-level physics courses. The first part, which was printed in yesterday's paper, examined some of the bold leaps ...

Long before nanotechnology existed, Richard Feynman explained how atoms could store huge amounts of information in microscopic spaces.

The lectures of Nobel Prize winning physicist Richard Feynman were legendary. Footage of these lectures does exist, but they are most famously preserved in The Feynman Lectures. The three-volume set ...
