The department offers a variety of courses as well as the opportunity for independent study and research. For a complete list of graduate courses, together with their descriptions, please consult the ...

When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it ...

It is a matter for celebration when two illustrious theoreticians such as Kip Thorne and Roger Blandford provide an in-depth description of the fundamentals of classical physics. Modern Classical ...

During its teenage and young adult years—what is now referred to as its “classical” period—physics made a lot of mistakes. In the old physics, mass and energy were separately conserved; particles’ ...

With simple arguments, researchers show that nature is complicated! Researchers have made a simple experiment that demonstrates that nature violates common sense. The experiment illustrates that light ...

Physicists at Stevens Institute of Technology used Christiaan Huygens' 350-year-old theorem, which explains the workings of pendulums and planets, to reveal new properties of light waves. (Courtesy: ...

Does strange quantum behaviour emerge from run-of-the-mill classical physics? If so, what does this tell us about the fundamental nature of reality? Subscribe & Review on iTunes, Soundcloud, Audioboom ...

MIT researchers have demonstrated that quantum phenomena like the double-slit experiment can be exactly calculated using a reformulated version of classical mechanics' Hamilton-Jacobi equation. By ...

Classical physics encompasses the body of theory developed over the past few centuries that describes the behaviour of macroscopic systems. Rooted in Newton’s laws of motion and gravitation, the ...
