125 years ago, 36 physicists gathered at Columbia University with a common goal: to advance and diffuse the knowledge of physics. And just like that, the American Physical Society was born. Since then, we’ve been the professional home for some of the greatest minds in physics and beyond, published the most Nobel Prize-winning physics papers globally, and convened 30,000 researchers annually to debate with and gain inspiration from one another. Now, we’re looking to the next 125 years and strivin

The Nobel Prize 🥇 – the "Oscar" of science – has been awarded in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology/Medicine, Literature, and Peace since 1901. Globally recognized as the highest distinction, this prestigious honor was established by Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel, to reward those who have greatly benefited humanity. ✨ The Max Planck Society proudly counts 31 Nobel Laureates in natural sciences, having been active members at the time of their award. 💻🤓 Learn more about their groundbreaking achieve

"I did simply Google 'Nobel Prize favorites'." Tim Long, a writer and producer of the Simpson’s, tells Nobel Prize the secret behind a very initiated predicition of Nobel Prize laureates in an episode of the American world wide popular tv-series. The Simpsons’s betting chart contains altogether three Nobel Laureates: two from this year, Bengt R Holmström in economics and Bernard L Feringa in chemistry. Oliver Williamson was awarded the Prize in Economic Sciences in 2009. Also the theme for the P

New research in Physical Review Letters explains why soft droplets make indents at the boundary of actively freezing ice. The authors say differences in surface tension can push warmer fluid closer to the ice boundary, delaying the droplet from freezing and allowing a dent to form. The findings could have practical applications in food preservation and cryopreservation. Read more: https://go.aps.org/3Oiamtw | American Physical Society
