Pran Nath, the Matthews Distinguished Professor of Physics at Northeastern University, is among a group of leading theoretical physicists who have asked the Department of Energy to develop a large underground neutrino facility to maintain U.S. leadership in the frontier of particle physics. We asked Nath to explain the facility and its value.
Physicists in the Milwaukee area are the highest paid technical employees in the state of Wisconsin, according to a new analysis of jobs data by Bizjournals.com.
Compared with other engineers, scientists and technicians in Wisconsin, physicists in the Milwaukee-Waukesha-West Allis metropolitan statistical area are the highest paid, with annual salaries of $138,770. Chemical engineers in the Madison area rank second with annual earnings of...
Scientists at Caltech managed to squeeze 186Gbps of data through a fiber optic network link between Victoria, B.C and Seattle, WA. This achievement marks the highest speed transfer ever over a long-range network, breaking the previous record of 119Gbps which was also set by the same Caltech team.
The new design also allowed them to build the smallest room-temperature, continuous wave laser to date. The new room-temperature nanoscale coaxial laser is more than an order of magnitude smaller than their previous record smallest nanolaser ...
The Simons Foundation awarded the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics $2.5 million to fund the institute’s on-campus visits and conferences with renowned theoretical physicists. The five-year renewable grant will allow KITP, founded by the ...

Dr. Michio Kaku, theoretical physicist, the words "ten years, this silicon may be the ability to collapse". Since computers double in power every 18 months or so, this evolution can not be sustained forever, and physicists have already Looking for replacements. Molecular computers, atomic computers, optical computers for the computer's evolution to the next level is considered to be the real wild card is a quantum computer. Why was a bit of the world even 10 years ago...Read Full Story
A familiar face from TV science documentaries, and author of Parallel Worlds, Dr Michio Kaku.
ANDY FLEMING reviews a superb popular cosmology book about the origins and fate of the universe that in the process speculates that our Universe may not be alone.
You know it's a really good book when you get round to reading it for a third time. Such is Parallel Worlds - The Science of Alternative Universes and Our Future in the Cosmos " by theoretical physicist and PBS/History/Discovery...Read Full Story
If you have interest is reading then you must have heard about The Grand design book. It is a renowned science book by none other than Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow who are famous physicists. This very popular book was published in the year 2010 by Bantam Books. The main factor that attracted the attention of end number of people towards this book was the argument that to know the origin of universe, it is not necessary to appeal to creator i.e. God. Also it was in highlights because...Read Full Story
Like many physicists, Michio Kaku thinks our universe will end in a "big freeze." However, unlike many physicists, he thinks we might be able to avoid this fate by slipping into a parallel universe. "i One of the most fascinating...Read Full Story
On the last day of the hearings, a Congressman asked one of the physicists if we would find God with our machine. The physicist answered that we would discover the Higgs Boson [the sub-atomic particle]. Our machine was duly cancelled.'Read Full Story
