    Today is Enrico Fermi‘s birthday. Fermi has been a real Prometheus moving mankind to the age of nuclear energy for civil aims. His contributions to our current understanding of physics are enormous and we know him as one of the greatest Italian scientists making an extraordinary pair with Galileo Galilei.

  • Discover Interview: Geoffrey West Finds the Physical Laws Embedded in Human Cities | DISCOVER Magazine

    Updated: 2012-09-28 19:30:00
    The son of a dressmaker and a professional gambler, Geoffrey West was born just after the outbreak of World War II and raised in relative poverty in postwar England. From those humble beginnings, he went on to a brilliant career in theoretical physics, eventually helping found the Elementary Particles and Field Theory group at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico in 1974. There he investigated some of the deepest mysteries in physics, including the underlying structure of protons and neutrons, the particles that make up the nuclei of atoms. Then in the 1990s, at an age when many researchers begin downshifting their careers, West embarked on a brand-new quest, seeking the universal laws that govern biology. After joining the Santa Fe Institute, which focuses on the interdisciplinary study of complex systems, he went even further afield, using mathematical models to investigate the fundamental organization of cities, with surprising results. He and a group of collaborators discovered that simply knowing the population of any given urban area allowed them to accurately predict the nuanced details of its infrastructure and its socioeconomic state. Give West the raw census data from your city—regardless of its history or geography—and he can tell you everything from the number of gas stations in it to the number of patents produced by its inhabitants. In his offices at the Santa Fe Institute in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he served as president for four years, West recently sat down for an extended conversation with DISCOVER staff writer Veronique Greenwood. They discussed his history of tackling questions outside his field, the fundamental laws that govern cities, and his belief that population overload is draining global resources, steering us toward socioeconomic collapse...

  • The Einstein papers: A physicist in turbulent seas

    Updated: 2012-09-27 16:50:54
    Albert Einstein is rightly known as one of the most prolific scientific geniuses of our time. But in between formulating his theories of Special and General Relativity, establishing the equivalence of matter and energy, making major contributions to quantum theory, and even explaining Brownian motion (thereby supporting the study of statistical mechanics and lending credence to atoms as physical objects instead of just useful models), Einstein found time to write. And write. And write some more.

    When artist Julius von Bismarck was a child, he thought CERN was a mysterious lair built deep into a mountain. After his two-month stint at CERN as the first Collide@CERN artist in residence, he has a more realistic image of the laboratory. He also knows a lot more about where he can go with his work, which is deeply connected to the universe around him. “My way of seeing the world changed,” von Bismarck said. “My way of doing art now of course changes also.”

    When it comes to designing an experiment that looks for the universe’s smallest particles, bigger is better. But when the experiment is so big that it spans multiple states, sometimes scientists need to find a way to keep everyone in the loop. That’s why the NOvA experiment is broadcasting real-time video showing the construction of its 14,000-ton neutrino detector.

    Updated: 2012-09-20 15:26:48
    As a graduate student, Laza Rakotondravohitra has already been a part of a couple of firsts in particle physics. He attended the first African School of Physics. He is also setting the bar high as the first international student from Madagascar to conduct research at Fermilab. Over the next three years, Rakotondravohitra (pictured below) will study under the supervision of Fermilab scientist Jorge Morfin as he works toward his doctorate in physics, which he will earn from Madagascar’s primary public university, the University of Antananarivo.

    Technicians in Minnesota have completed the first block of a detector that will be part of the largest, most advanced neutrino experiment in North America.

  • Synopsis: An Anyon Detector

    Updated: 2012-09-06 14:00:00
    A proposed interferometry experiment could detect quantum states, called anyons, which are neither bosons nor fermions. Published Thu Sep 06, 2012

  • Synopsis: More tau leptons than expected

    Updated: 2012-09-06 14:00:00
    An excess of tau leptons in bottom meson decays signals a puzzling departure from the standard model. Published Thu Sep 06, 2012

  • Synopsis: The Certainty of Uncertainty

    Updated: 2012-09-06 14:00:00
    State of the art quantum measurements show that the original formulation of Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle can be violated. Published Thu Sep 06, 2012

  • SLAC at 50

    Updated: 2012-09-05 06:00:00
    In the early 1960s, a 2.5-mile-long strip of land in the rolling hills west of Stanford University was transformed into fertile ground for physicists’ dreams: the longest linear accelerator in the world, built for studies of the mysterious subatomic realm.  In late August, more than 1000 people gathered at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory to celebrate 50 years of scientific successes made possible by that accelerator and the ones that followed.

  • Pushing boundaries

    Updated: 2012-09-04 06:00:00
    Since our very first issue, symmetry has aimed to be at the forefront of science reporting, outreach and design. I think we’ve done quite well, and the results of a recent survey suggest that our readers agree. To keep things that way, we’re making a few changes—not to the type or quality of our articles, but to how we deliver them.

  • Fall Course: Quantum Mechanics for Mathematicians

    Updated: 2012-09-03 19:28:35
    This fall I’m teaching on quantum mechanics for mathematicians, at the undergraduate level. There’s a web-page with more information here. I’ll be writing up lecture notes, which should appear on that web-page as the course goes on, starting Wednesday. We’ll … Continue reading →
