๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ป ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฒ Co-Chairs Kevin McLaughlin and Karin Wulf introduced the initiative to the Brown community this morning, including launching a website launch to โmark the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States through a multi-year exploration of the important role that university research and teaching plays in advancing open and democratic societies.โ
A decade after the discovery of the โamplituhedron,โ physicists have excavated more of the timeless geometry underlying the standard picture of how particles move.
The distinguished physicist, who taught at Brown for more than five decades and was awarded the 1972 Nobel Prize in Physics for developing the theory of superconductivity, died on Oct. 23.
He shared the 1972 physics prize for showing how some materials could convey electricity without resistance. He also did pioneering research in neuroscience.
Brown University is a leading research university distinguished by its student-centered learning and deep sense of purpose. Our students, faculty, and staff are driven by the idea that their work will impact the world.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton โfor foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks."
Brown University Professor of Physics Dmitri Feldman was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) in the Division of Condensed Matter Physics for 2024.
On Monday, September 30, the Physics Department faculty hosted University Communications Manager & Writer for the Physical Sciences, Juan Siliezar, for Physics Writer-in-Residence Day, a day of 1:1 faculty meetings and lab tours.
A decade after the discovery of the โamplituhedron,โ physicists have excavated more of the timeless geometry underlying the standard picture of how particles move.
Representing a wide variety of disciplines and backgrounds, the scholars join the Brown community to guide student-centered learning and engage in high-impact research.
Faculty and student researchers from Brown contributed key expertise on the LZ teamโs latest findings, refining the search for dark matter particles and pushing the boundaries of detection technology.
Emeritus Professor of Physics (Research) Derek Stein, founder and CEO of Adept Materials, was recently featured in โAdept Materialsโ dehumidifying paint was inspired by trees and semiconductorsโ in TechCrunch.comโs climate section.
A condensed matter researcher and Brown Ph.D. student, Nikolov is spending his summer at Fidelity Investments, exploring how quantum-inspired neural networks could revolutionize financial analysis and security systems.
Congratulations to Vineetha Bheemarasetty, the recipient of the 2024 Jun Qi โ03 Ph.D. and Christine Geng Graduate Fellowship in Condensed Matter Experimental Physics!
Starting in 2029, the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) will provide much higher collision intensities to the ATLAS and CMS experiments, with up to 200 concurrent collisions (or pileup) per bunch crossing expected. This will create very complicated collision events with many overlapping tracks. Consequently, the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations are preparing to equip their tracking detectors with high-resolution inner tracking layers based on silicon pixel detectors. These new detectors will measure the inner points of the particle tracks as close as possible to the collision point.
Farrah Simpson โ21 ScM, โ24 PhD has just become the first Black woman to earn a doctorate in physics from Brown. Hailing from Jamaica, Simpson has traversed the country learning and gaining wisdom from some of the most prominent physicists and giving back, but her accomplishments have not come without its difficulties. Learn more about her journey from making breakthroughs in particle physics to being a champion for diversity to the next generation of Black physicists.
On June 7, 2024, the United Nations proclaimed 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. Stay tuned as Brown Physics plans a year of activities in honor of Quantum Year!
