WASHINGTON, March 17, 2025 – AIP and the American Physical Society (APS) are excited to award Samson Shatashvili with the 2025 Dannie Heineman Prize for Mathematical Physics. Shatashvili is being ...

Mathematical physics is an interdisciplinary field that employs rigorous mathematical methodologies to elucidate and model physical phenomena. It draws upon diverse areas such as differential geometry ...

Scientists have long believed that foam behaves like glass, with bubbles locked into place. New simulations reveal that bubbles never truly settle and instead keep moving through many possible ...

Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly ...

In a recent study, mathematicians from Freie Universität Berlin have demonstrated that planar tiling, or tessellation, is much more than a way to create a pretty pattern. Consisting of a surface ...

At the frontiers of theoretical physics, many of the most popular ideas have one thing in common: they begin from a mathematical framework that seeks to explain more things than our currently ...

Computational physics jobs involve calculations and formulas. It combines physics, computer science and applied mathematics in order to provide scientific solutions to realistic and often complex ...

At William & Mary, most students do not declare a major until the spring of their second year. However, if physics is a potential major for you, we recommend that you take General Physics (PHYS101/102 ...

The laws of physics imply that the passage of time is an illusion. To avoid this conclusion, we might have to rethink the reality of infinitely precise numbers. Strangely, although we feel as if we ...
