After two decades and more than half a billion dollars, LIGO, the world's largest gravitational-wave observatory, is on the verge of a detection. Maybe.

Michio Kaku looks at the future and makes some very interesting predictions about the next 100 years.

But this is the point. General relativity and quantum mechanics, the physics revolutions of the 20th century, were viewed as profound precisely because they overthrew common sense.

As well as being a co-founder of string field theory, Michio Kaku is a best-selling author, television presenter and all-round popularizer of science. His latest book, Physics of the Future: How ...

An artificial-intelligence approach borrowed from natural-language processing — much like language translation and autofill for text on your smart phone — can predict future fault friction and ...

Theoretical physicist Michio Kaku describes some of the inventions he thinks will appear in the coming century — including Internet-ready contact lenses, space elevators and driverless cars ...

Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider triumphantly announced the discovery of the Higgs boson back in the summer of 2012. Nicknamed “the God particle,” ...

Fundamental physics began the twentieth century with the twin revolutions of relativity and quantum mechanics, and much of the second half of the century was devoted to the construction of a ...

The Board of Education is approaching the problem by offering a number of State bursaries chiefly in physics, engineering and chemistry (see p. 251).

About a week and a half ago, I was mildly lamenting my decision not to travel to Denver for the American Physical Society’s March Meeting, the largest annual physics meeting.
