One of the unique qualities of carbon nanotubes is that water has been shown to flow through them at very high speeds. But the molecular

mechanisms that make this possible are not very well understood, and theorists have yet to fully explain why this happens, in part because

On Thursday, July 21, at 9.30 am (UK Time) the LUX Collaboration made a new results announcement at the IDM 2016 Conference in Sheffield, England.

Last week, the Physics Department met our summer visiting research fellows and intern from the University of Cantabria in Spain. They'll be working with Professor Meenakshi Narain and Professor Brad Marston on projects that will advance work in Experimental High Energy Physics and Condensed Matter Theory. 

Physics Professor Stephon Alexander has been busy promoting his new book, The Jazz of Physics: The Secret Link Between Music and the Structure of the Universe. 

Research led by a Brown University physicist (Professor Brad Marston) reveals a way to include small-scale dynamics into computer simulations of large-scale phenomena, which could make for better climate models and astrophysical simulations. Click the link to read the full article.

Physics Professor Anastasia Volovich has been named a National Finalist of the 2016 Blavatnik National Laureates. The annual Blavatnik Awards, established by the Blavatnik Family Foundation in 2007 and administered by the New York Academy of Sciences,
