Thermodynamics and statistical physics provide a unified framework linking the macroscopic laws of energy, work, and entropy to the microscopic motions of particles. Thermodynamics, rooted in the laws ...

Statistical physics and message passing inference represent two interwoven strands of modern quantitative research. While statistical physics examines how macroscopic phenomena emerge from the ...

Taken from the September 2021 issue of Physics World where it first appeared under the headline "Physics for biological breakthroughs". It might not sound like an obvious place for a physicist to work ...

The maelstrom surrounding the nomination and subsequent confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court was to be expected, when one justice's vote could change the country's moral compass for ...

Researchers from The University of New Mexico and Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed a novel computational framework that addresses a longstanding challenge in statistical physics. The ...

Protein evolution plays a key role in many biological processes that are essential for life – but what does it have to do with physics? Schematic overview of procedure used to generate simulated ...

The Mathematical Physics group at CU Boulder has expertise in Hilbert space theory, quantization theory, random matrices, Poisson geometry, the mathematics of classical and quantum fields, and PDE's ...

One of the curious features of the laws of physics is that many of them seem to be the result of the bulk behavior of many much smaller components. The atoms and molecules in a gas, for example, move ...

The Master of Science in Physics offers advanced training in core areas of physics and topics of current research. Students wishing to complete this master's degree will find a learning environment ...

Ambuj Tewari receives funding from the NSF. If your jaw dropped as you watched the latest AI-generated video, your bank balance was saved from criminals by a fraud detection system, or your day was ...
