Nearly 60 years ago, J. Robert Oppenheimer sat down to reflect on his life in science. Across three interviews recorded in 1960, 1963, and 1966, he shared memories of his early life and career, the ...

About half of the physics bachelors receiving their degrees in the 2023-24 and 2024-25 academic years were either employed or seeking employment in the winter following receiving their degree. Physics ...

Institutions that support the history of science make strategic choices about how they go about their work. These can include drawing boundaries around their subject matter, as AIP does with the ...

A distinct nitrogen-vacancy configuration in hexagonal diamonds is predicted to have longer coherence times, yet similar ...

What do financial markets, sunspots, and brain dynamics have in common? They all exhibit multifractal behavior — an interwoven repeating pattern spanning multiple scales. Multifractality is common in ...

Everyone wants a robust dataset to train their AI and ML models, but the creation and upkeep can require time and resources that often go unseen by users. Richardella et al. developed the Lifetime ...

Bottlenose dolphins are known for their intelligence. Using echolocation, they can distinguish between microsecond delays in the return call to track their prey. Researchers can test a dolphin’s range ...

Relying on quantum states of light, satellite-based quantum communication presents new frontiers for secure communication — along with threats. Unlike optical fiber communications, where photons lost ...

American Institute of Physics advances, promotes and serves the physical sciences for the benefit of humanity.

When a nanoparticle enters a biological fluid, proteins attach to its surface and form a corona, which can influence how the particle is recognized by cells and how it behaves in the body. The field ...
