  2. Quantum mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mechanics

    Quantum mechanics is a fundamental theory that describes the behavior of nature at and below the scale of atoms. [2]: 1.1 It is the foundation of all quantum physics, which includes quantum chemistry, quantum field theory, quantum technology, and quantum information science.

  3. Unified field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_field_theory

    The "Theory of Everything" [4] and Grand Unified Theory [5] are closely related to unified field theory, but differ by not requiring the basis of nature to be fields, and often by attempting to explain physical constants of nature. Earlier attempts based on classical physics are described in the article on classical unified field theories.

  4. Schwinger effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwinger_effect

    The effect was originally proposed by Fritz Sauter in 1931 [1] and further important work was carried out by Werner Heisenberg and Hans Heinrich Euler in 1936, [2] though it was not until 1951 that Julian Schwinger gave a complete theoretical description. [3] The Schwinger effect can be thought of as vacuum decay in the presence of an electric ...

  5. Grand Unified Theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Unified_Theory

    The boson matrix for SO(10) is found by taking the 15 × 15 matrix from the 10 + 5 representation of SU(5) and adding an extra row and column for the right-handed neutrino. The bosons are found by adding a partner to each of the 20 charged bosons (2 right-handed W bosons, 6 massive charged gluons and 12 X/Y type bosons) and adding an extra ...

  6. Cohesion (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cohesion_(chemistry)

    In chemistry and physics, cohesion (from Latin cohaesiƍ 'cohesion, unity'), also called cohesive attraction or cohesive force, is the action or property of like molecules sticking together, being mutually attractive.

  7. Perturbation theory (quantum mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perturbation_theory...

    These advances have been of particular benefit to the field of quantum chemistry. [3] Computers have also been used to carry out perturbation theory calculations to extraordinarily high levels of precision, which has proven important in particle physics for generating theoretical results that can be compared with experiment.

  8. List of effects - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_effects

    Jack-in-the-box effect (military) (military slang and jargon) (tanks) Jahn–Teller effect (condensed matter physics) (inorganic chemistry) (organometallic chemistry) (quantum chemistry) January effect (behavioral finance) (economics and finance) (market trends) (stock market) Janus effect (effects) (sociology)

  9. Unification of theories in physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unification_of_theories_in...

    Unification of theories about observable fundamental phenomena of nature is one of the primary goals of physics. [1] [2] [3] The two great unifications to date are Isaac Newton’s unification of gravity and astronomy, and James Clerk Maxwell’s unification of electromagnetism; the latter has been further unified with the concept of electroweak interaction.
