Energy efficiency in physics is not measured the way most people think about it. Instead of asking how much heat a process ...

Particle and high energy physics is dedicated to unravelling the fundamental constituents of matter and the forces governing their interactions. This field encompasses experimental efforts at the ...

Explore work and energy concepts with a real-world example: a crashing car analysis! In this physics tutorial, we break down kinetic energy, work done, and energy transfer during a collision. Using ...

CMU earned $4.981 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) following a competitive peer review process. The federal government has awarded nearly $5 million to Carnegie Mellon ...

Roland Winston, SB’56, SM’57, PhD’63—a pioneer in solar energy, engineering, and physics—died Feb. 8 at his home in California. He was 88. Winston was a University of Chicago professor in the ...

In part one of our interview, Mark P. Mills, the Executive Director of the National Center for Energy Analytics and the author of numerous books, dove into his twenty-year-old – yet timeless – ...

Physics is the study of the underlying laws and mechanisms explaining how the universe works. Most of what we do in daily life is based on a principle or law of physics—dealing with forces, motion, ...

The study shows that in quantum devices, reading a clock consumes far more energy than running it. This insight will help ...

Particle and high energy physics seeks to understand the fundamental constituents of matter and the interactions that govern them across the smallest distance scales and highest energies. The Standard ...

The goal of high energy physics (also known as particle physics) is to determine the most fundamental building blocks of matter and to understand the interactions between these particles. The ...
