In the 1940s, trailblazing physicists stumbled upon the next layer of reality. Particles were out, and fields — expansive, undulating entities that fill space like an ocean — were in. One ripple in a ...

At the frontiers of theoretical physics, many of the most popular ideas have one thing in common: they begin from a mathematical framework that seeks to explain more things than our currently ...

This year Ireland celebrates the bicentenary of the mathematician William Rowan Hamilton, best remembered for "quaternions" and for his pioneering work on optics and dynamics Picture of genius William ...
