Scientists have unlocked a new way to control ionization, the process where atoms lose electrons, using specially designed light beams By leveraging optical vortex beams, light that carries angular ...

AIP and APS are excited to award Samson Shatashvili with the 2025 Dannie Heineman Prize for Mathematical Physics. Shatashvili ...

One branch of physics is quantum mechanics, which deals with the study and analysis of elements at the microscopic level, the behavior of matter, atoms, electrons, molecules, etc.

A degree in physics makes it possible to study these forces and phenomena and apply them in different fields. People who earn a physics degree tend to be logical thinkers and problem-solvers who enjoy ...

The conference highlighted the growing interest in the generation of intense ultrashort pulses of just a few optical cycles, and their use in high-field physics experiments and spectroscopy.
