Physicist demonstrates dictionary definition was dodgy
Apr 24, 2014 (SPX)
It is the defining moment that demonstrates a QUT physicist was correct in pointing out a 99-year-old mistake to one of the world's most authoritative dictionar...
Economics = MC2 A portrait of the modern physics startup
Apr 24, 2014 (SPX)
For much of the 20th century, many of the technological innovations that drove U.S. economic growth emerged from "idea factories" housed within large companies ...
Liquid spacetime
Apr 24, 2014 (SPX)
What if spacetime were a kind of fluid? This is the question tackled by theoretical physicists working on quantum gravity by creating models attempting to recon...
Physicists consider implications of recent revelations about the universe's first light
Apr 24, 2014 (SPX)
The world was stunned by the recent announcement that a telescope at the South Pole had detected a cosmic fossil from the earliest moments of creation; During a...
Filling the gap between quantum and classical world
Apr 22, 2014 (SPX)
