Physicists have gained new insights into dark energy and the theory of gravitation by analyzing data from the "Planck" satellite mission of the European Space Agency (ESA). Their results demonstrate ...

In other ways, though, the new Planck data quashes hopes for bizarre new physics. The findings provide zero evidence for cosmic strings, which might be expected under string theory, and can say almost ...

Quantum nano-mechanics. Quantum jumps in atomic physics. Continuous transitions between quantum states in quantum‒classical mechanics for molecular and chemical physics involve both chaotic (dozy ...

PROF. MAX PLANCK, originator of the quantum theory and emeritus professor of theoretical physics in the University of Berlin, will celebrate his eightieth birthday on April 23. Planck's work had a ...

"With the discovery of the principle of energy conservation, the edifice of theoretical physics is fairly complete. There will be a mote to wipe out in a corner here or there, but something ...
