A mathematical problem that had remained unsolved for more than 10 years in the physics of complex systems has finally been resolved through an unusual collaboration: one involving two theoretical ...

Several fields of mathematics have developed in total isolation, using their own "undecipherable" coded languages. In a new study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Tamás ...

“The Impossible Man,” by Patchen Barss, depicts the British mathematical physicist and Nobelist Sir Roger Penrose in all his iconoclastic complexity. By Jennifer Szalai When you purchase an ...

A question that has vexed physicists for the past century may finally have a solution – but perhaps not the one everyone was hoping for. In a new, detailed breakdown of current theory, a team of ...

Modern physicists are concerned with the infinitely large—the universe—and the indefinitely small—the electron. Accepted key to the puzzle of the universe is Einstein’s theory of relativity. Crux of ...

Referred to as a “founding father of modern mathematical physics” by those who knew his work, the University’s Thomas D. Jones Professor Emeritus Arthur Wightman GS ’49 died of Alzheimer’s disease on ...

Indian physicist Deepak Dhar has won the 2026 Dirac Medal for his pioneering contributions to statistical physics, including his influential work on the Abelian sandpile model. Know about his research ...

Two physicists have used generative artificial intelligence (AI) to solve a stubborn mathematical problem in physics that had vexed researchers for more than a decade. Their solution, described July 1 ...
