Barad's original training was in theoretical particle physics and quantum field theory. Their book, Meeting the Universe Halfway, (2007), includes a chapter that contains an original discovery in theoretical physics, which is largely unheard of in books that are usually categorized as "gender studies" or "cultural theory" books [citation needed ...
1926: Katharine Burr Blodgett was the first women to earn a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Cambridge. [80] 1926: The first application of quantum mechanics to molecular systems was done by Lucy Mensing. She studied the rotational spectrum of diatomic molecules using the methods of matrix mechanics.

She is founding director of the Australian Research Council's Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation & Communication Technology, and as of 2023 is Scientia Professor of Quantum Physics in the Faculty of Science at the ...
The central claim of the book is that the theory of quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity together help us understand how universes could have formed out of nothing. [9] The authors write: Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing.
A Universe from Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather than Nothing is a non-fiction book by the physicist Lawrence M. Krauss, initially published on January 10, 2012, by Free Press. It discusses modern cosmogony and its implications for the debate about the existence of God .
[42] [43] She was the 2017 Australian Institute of Physics Women in Physics lecturer, in which capacity she spent three weeks delivering talks at schools and universities across Australia. [44] [45] In 2018, Mack was chosen to be one of the judges for Nature magazine's newly founded Nature Research Awards for Inspiring Science and Innovating ...
Gell-Mann used it to describe the state of particle physics around the time he was formulating the Eightfold Way, a precursor to the quark-model of hadrons. According to the second edition of Strange Beauty: Murray Gell-Mann & the Revolution in Physics [ 3 ] Gell-Mann incorrectly attributed the quote to George Orwell in a letter to the ...
