The term Modern physics is normally used for fields which rely heavily on quantum theory, including quantum mechanics, atomic physics, nuclear physics, particle physics and condensed matter physics. General and special relativity are usually considered to be part of modern physics as well.
It holds an annual contest rewarding essays by scientific researchers on gravity-related topics. [4] The contest, which awards prizes of up to $4,000, has been won by at least six people who later won the Nobel Prize in physics.
Physics Essays is a quarterly journal supposedly [1] covering theoretical and experimental physics. It was established in 1988 and the editor-in-chief is Emilio Panarella. The journal has a reputation for being a "free forum where extravagant views on physics (in particular, those involving parapsychology ) are welcome". [ 1 ]
The United States sent teams to the International Young Physicists' Tournament several times in the 2000s, and achieved a second-place finish in 2005. [1] The nonprofit United States Association for Young Physicists Tournaments was incorporated in 2005, initially for the purpose of supporting and training the US team as well as to spread the pedagogical methodology of preparing and conducting ...
Similarly to the old Core Contest, we have selected a list of articles in physics that are important, highly visible, and in a bad state, and we are offering prizes for their improvement. The rules are: work on any of the articles in the list below, submit a diff of the work to this page, and nominate it as a Good Article or Featured Article ...
The International Young Physicists' Tournament (IYPT) [1], sometimes referred to as the "Physics World Cup", is a scientific competition between teams of secondary school students. It mimics, as close as possible, the real-world scientific research and the process of presenting and defending the results obtained.
Spring of air experiment (1660): Robert Boyle shows that the volume of a given amount of gas is inversely related to the pressure upon it. Kite experiment (1700s): Benjamin Franklin beginning in 1747 describes experiments in letters to Peter Collinson demonstrating electrical principles which were published in a book called Experiments and ...
Welcome to the Topic lists WikiProject. This project deals with list article names with either of the words "topics" or "articles" in the title (e.g., List of Albania-related articles, List of economics topics, etc.). These lists fall into two types: alphabetical indexes of articles and hierarchically structured lists (outlines).
