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 ...

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 ...

Statistical physics is a branch of physics that uses probability theory and statistics to solve physical problems that usually involve systems composed of a large number of units. Its main purpose is ...

This episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast features an interview with Tannie Liverpool, who uses statistical physics to explore outstanding questions in biology. Based at the UK’s University of ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...
