Nanowerk: Using matter waves, scientists unveil novel collective behaviors in quantum optics
Let's think about what physics is and what topics are covered in an introductory physics course.
Physics is built on a foundation of math and it seeks to explain all phenomena in the universe. It forms the basis for other sciences like chemistry and biology. Physics uses simple yet elegant math to describe complex phenomena, from galaxies to biological systems. It's about understanding and predicting the universe's complexity based on simple ideas.
Welcome to AP®︎/College Physics 1! In AP Physics 1, you'll learn algebra-based classical mechanics. To make sure you’re prepared with the fundamentals, we recommend completing high school physics before diving into AP Physics 1.
Khan Academy offers free, world-class education in physics, covering forces and motion topics.
(Nanowerk News) A research team led by Dominik Schneble, PhD, Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, has uncovered a novel regime, or set of conditions within a system, for cooperative ...
