Belgian-born scientist Francis Halzen won the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for his efforts to demystify a rare group of neutrinos, tiny cosmic particles that researchers believe offer clues to how the universe evolved.

Philip Ball’s entertaining biography is a guide to both the life of the Danish physicist and the mind-boggling quantum science that he, alongside Einstein, did much to advance

Belgian prodigy Laurent Simons, who earned a PhD in quantum physics at 15, is now pursuing a second doctorate exploring AI, medicine and whole-body imaging.

Biological physics is a branch of physics that deals with systems of a biological nature, from the scale of biological molecules to whole organisms and ecosystems. Biological physics typically uses quantitative physical approaches to address biological questions similar to those studied in biochemistry and molecular biology.

This video examines whether modern physics has revived the 19th-century idea of the “aether” — the invisible medium once thought to carry light — and explains how contemporary theories changed our view of space and particles.

Stanford University Professor Karl Deisseroth was among three scientists who won the Nobel medicine prize for research into the workings of the human brain.
