This crystal was first discovered in 1982 by an Israeli scientist Dan Shechtman. He proposed that a quasicrystal also has a repeating (periodic) structure, but not in the 3D space where we see it ...

The physics prize carries a cash award of 11 million Swedish kronor ($1 million) from a bequest left by the award's creator, Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel. It has been awarded 117 times.

Long before the current political divide over climate change, and even before the U.S. Civil War (1861-1865), an American scientist named Eunice Foote documented the underlying cause of today’s ...

Scientists propose “DNA of the universe” is gap in Einstein’s hunt for unified physics theory Physicists say they detected a double helix in the fabric of spacetime By Matthew Rozsa Staff Writer ...

As scientists mark 100 years since the development of the theory’s foundations, a new book, Women in the History of Quantum Physics, provides a crucial accounting of the lives of those unsung ...

The Nobel Prize in physics was awarded a day after two American scientists won the medicine prize for their discovery of microRNA. Three scientists won last year’s physics Nobel for providing ...
