Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics
... In a nutshell, thermodynamics is the study of the internal motions of many-body systems. Virtually all physical entities that we encounter in everyday life are many-body systems of some type or other (e.g., solids, liquids, gases, and even electromagnetic radiation). Not surprisingly, therefore, the ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC)
... A next, crucial step in discovering these laws will be the exploration of phenomena around and above 1 TeV – electroweak symmetry breaking and more (super-symmetry?) At high energies we effectively emulate, at an elementary level, the conditions that prevailed in the early universe Cosmologists have ...

Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE)
... why there is more matter than antimatter in the universe. DUNE will also expand the search for proton decay – an experimentally unprecedented phenomenon whose discovery would have major implications for the development of a Grand Unified Theory (GUT) of physics – among other investigations of phy ...
