Engineering is based principally on physics, chemistry, and mathematics and their extensions into materials science, solid and fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, transfer and rate processes, and systems analysis. Unlike scientists, engineers are not free to select the problems that interest them.
The fifth state of matter—the ultracold Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)—has been an invaluable tool in unlocking the secrets of quantum physics. Now, scientists from Columbia University have created a ...
The Standard Model of Particle Physics accounts for four fundamental forces—strong, weak, electromagnetism, and gravity—but for decades, scientists have wondered if an elusive fifth force might be at ...

MSN: Here's what scientists know about the portal to the fifth dimension
One of the biggest unsolved problems in astrophysics is the existence of dark matter. Since the 1930s, the mysterious matter has been proven to exert its gravitational forces on the cosmos time and ...
Let's think about what physics is and what topics are covered in an introductory physics course.
Physics is built on a foundation of math and it seeks to explain all phenomena in the universe. It forms the basis for other sciences like chemistry and biology. Physics uses simple yet elegant math to describe complex phenomena, from galaxies to biological systems. It's about understanding and predicting the universe's complexity based on simple ideas.
