The physicist targets science lovers of all ages, especially those who shy away from the subject, with “The Dialogues: Conversations about the Nature of the Universe,” which he wrote and illustrated.
As the convergence of big data and the biological sciences accelerates, a new USC Dornsife program enables students to ask and answer some of the living world’s most pressing scientific questions.
F. Duncan Haldane, the Princeton University physicist awarded a 2016 Nobel Prize in Physics for his research into the properties of matter in extreme states, conducted much of his award-winning research while he was a professor of physics at USC Dornsife.
A specialist in low-temperature physics, superconductivity and cryogenic engineering, physicist Young Kim was active in research related to electric power transmission.
An annual contest urges students to connect with pop culture, leading to stronger communication of science in film.
Ever wonder how the universe came into being? Or, what exactly a black hole is? With a graphic book that will tackle these questions and more, Clifford Johnson of physics and astronomy at USC Dornsife reminds us that science is not just for scientists.
At USC Dornsife, we view stars differently. Join us as we explore the constellation of meanings these celestial bodies have in literature, physics, spatial sciences — and more.
Teeming with countless planets, stars, galaxies — and perhaps a host of as yet unimagined phenomena — the universe is incomprehensibly large. Despite its massive nature, reality ultimately boils down to infinitesimal basic building blocks. No one is quite certain what they are, but two USC Dornsife physicists explain how scientists may be closer than ever to an answer.
As theoretical physicists endeavor to understand the intricacies of mysterious black holes, strange theories of existence begin to emerge.
