This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics recognises three researchers who expanded humanity’s horizons on the grandest of scales, contributing to our understanding of the evolution of the universe and our place within it.
James Peebles, Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz were awarded the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics.
This year, Nobel Laureate Duncan Haldane attended the Lindau Meetings for the first time. Science writer Ben Skuse explains the topological concept for which Haldane received the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Celebrating 20 years since his Nobel Prize in Physics, Martinus Veltman takes #LINO19 participants on a journey into particle physics’ past.
Laser technologies have not only led to groundbreaking discoveries in science but have also changed our daily lives.
There are many ways how the 'wonder material' graphene could improve our lives - still some hurdles have to be overcome.
80 years ago, the nuclear physicists Lise Meitner and Otto Frisch delivered the physico-theoretical explanation of nuclear fission. Read more about the beginning of the nuclear age.
On Tuesday, 2 October 2018, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2018 to Arthur Ashkin, Gérard Mourou and Donna Strickland for their breakthrough inventions in the field of laser physics. Find out more about the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics here.
They’ve been the butt of many a science-fiction joke and are incredibly difficult to investigate: neutrinos. Now, a new experiment has begun in south-west Germany to pinpoint their exact mass.
We mourn the loss of Nobel Laureate Peter Grünberg, who sadly passed away at the age 78 last week. The German physicist received the Nobel Prize in Physics 2007 together with Albert Fert for discovering a new physical effect: Giant Magnetoresistance. He studied in Frankfurt and Darmstadt and carried out research at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, […]
We deeply regret to report that laureate Richard Edward Taylor passed away on 22 February 2018 at the age of 88. Taylor received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1990 together with Jerome I. Friedman and Henry W. Kendall for discoveries about deep inelastic scattering of electrons on protons and bound neutrons, insights that have been crucial for […]
Wir sind tief betroffen von der Nachricht, dass Nobelpreisträger Richard Edward Taylor am 22. Februar 2018 im Alter von 88 verstorben ist. Richard Taylor erhielt 1990 den Nobelpreis für Physik zusammen mit Jerome I. Friedman and Henry W. Kendall für Erkenntnisse über tiefinelastischen Elektronenstreuung an Protonen und gebundenen Neutronen, die von grundlegender Bedeutung für die Entwicklung des Quarkmodells war. Taylor stammte ursprünglich aus Alberta, […]
