In this chapter, I argue that the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in fundamental physics has become evident through our growing understanding of the significance of symmetry principles in nature and th
Compelling experimental evidence suggests the existence of new physics beyond the well-established and tested standard model of particle physics. Various current and upcoming experiments are searching for signatures of new physics. Despite the variety of
Many, like the Fundamental Physics Prize, are funded from the telephone-number-sized bank accounts of Internet entrepreneurs. 这些奖项中有很多像基本物理学奖一样,其资金来源于互联网企业家们数额庞大的银行账户。 These benefactors have succeeded in their chosen fields, they say, and they want to use ...
Concepts of symmetry are very important in physics. Space-time symmetries are all around us in the everyday world: the right and left sides of an animal body, the circular disk of the Sun and Moon, a wallpaper pattern, or even a repeated musical rhythm. And symmetry has become a fundam...
31. The Fundamental Physics Prize is seen as [A] a symbol of the entrepreneurs’ wealth. [B] a possible replacement of the Nobel Prizes. [C] a handsome reward for researchers. [D] an example of bankers’ investments. D 首段2、3句指出,除Fundamental Physics Prize(基础物理学奖)外,还有一...
the linear dispersion electronic structure and the symmetry breaking in the momentum space, which can be harnessed for improved functionality, energy efficiency and form factor in electronic devices. In this Review, we examine the fundamental properties and devices based on semi-metals and their hetero...
物理学中有两个非常成功的理论——广义相对论和量子力学。简略地说,前者是关于引力和宇宙大尺度结构的理论,后者是关于物质的基本构成、亚原子粒子及其相互作用的理论。在过去的一个多世纪里,这两个理论在各自领域表现卓越。然而,我们虽然已经有了可用来很好地解释引力是如何作用于宏观物体的理论,但我们却不能在极高...

Cosmological and astrophysical probes.The production of neutrinos inastrophysical processes, such as energy production in the Sun orsupernovae, can provide unique clues about the underlying fundamental physics—as can the analysis of the role played by neutrinos in cosmological processes, such as those...
Manipulating symmetry environments of metal ions to control functional properties is a fundamental concept of chemistry. For example, lattice strain enables control of symmetry in solids through a change in the nuclear positions surrounding a metal centre. Light–matter interactions can also induce strain...
