Analogue interaction Illustration of how an impurity atom may gradually evolve into a quasiparticle by interacting with a surrounding medium. This mechanism is similar to how an electron can distort a ...

In Drexel University’s physics department, faculty and students work side-by-side to explore the span of universal phenomena – from biophysics to astrophysics and cosmology, all the way down to the ...

“It is not easy to walk alone in the country without musing upon something,” Charles Dickens once observed. For Julian Barbour, those musings most often involve the nature of space and time. Barbour, ...
