The Matter of Everything tells the history of physics through experiments. Any book about the history of science for a general audience will, of necessity, be something of a distortion. The question ...

Research means asking questions of the universe. For centuries, clever minds have advanced science by devising ingenious experiments designed so their results reveal something about the laws of nature ...

Michael Riordan has spent decades ruminating on the history of physics, including events he participated in himself. The American Physical Society announced today that they will award physicist and ...

Precision measurements at low energies provide an alternate path to the frontier in particle physics, and provide complementary information to that obtained at the highest-energy colliders. The ...

Experimentalists in high-energy physics are probing at the smallest scales of length to learn about the fundamental nature of elementary particles and the interactions between them. In addition, they ...
