Laboratory for Particle Physics and Cosmology (LPPC)
The Astroparticle Physics Frontier Group is led by Carlos Argüelles, a neutrino physicist. His work explores properties of neutrinos using data from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory . IceCube data provides a unique window on the highest energy neutrinos ever observed. It is an ideal place to search for new Beyond Standard Model effects.

Reflecting on a Pivotal Physics Calculation
A Q&A with physicist David Politzer about solving the mystery of the strong force more than 50 years ago. When David Politzer, Caltech's Richard Chace Tolman Professor of Theoretical Physics, was a fourth-year graduate student at Harvard in 1973, he made an astounding discovery that would forever reshape the field of particle physics.He had been mulling over a physics problem and decided to do ...
Educational Perspectives on Quaternions: Insights and ...
Quaternions, discovered by Sir William Rowan Hamilton in the 19th century, are a significant extension of complex numbers and a profound tool for understanding three-dimensional rotations. This work explores the quaternion's history, algebraic structure, and educational implications. We begin with the historical context of quaternions, highlighting Hamilton's contributions and the development ...
Postdoctoral Fellow: Light-element superconductivity in Washington, DC
Minimum qualifications: A PhD in physics, chemistry, materials science or a related field is the requirement for this position. Desired qualifications: Expertise in solid-state synthesis, characterization of magnetic & electrical transport properties (e.g., PPMS), powder/single-crystal diffraction, Raman/infrared spectroscopies, and ...
About the Department
The Department's greatest resources are the people that fill its classrooms, labs, and offices, as well as state-of-the-art facilities. For undergraduate concentrators, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers, Harvard features a complete range of opportunities to engage in world-class physics from theoretical to the experimental.
Atomic wires on substrates: Physics between one and two dimensions
We explore this fascinating field by first giving an overview of the present status of theoretical knowledge on 1D physics, including coupling between chains and to the substrate, before we set out for experimental results on ordered arrays of atomic wires on both flat and vicinal Si(111) surfaces comprising Si(111)-In, Si(hhk)-Au, Si(557)-Pb ...
Geometry, anomaly, topology, and transport in Weyl fermions
Weyl fermions are one of the simplest objects that link ideas in geometry and topology to highenergy physics and condensed matter physics. Although the existence of Weyl fermions as elementary particles remains dubious, there is mounting evidence of their existence as quasiparticles in certain condensed matter systems. Such systems are termed Weyl semimetals (WSMs). Needless to say, WSMs have ...

Assessment of preservice physics teachers' knowledge of student
In physics education, a number of studies have developed assessments of teachers' knowledge of student understanding (KSU) of specific physics concepts with modified versions of existing concept inventories, in which teachers were asked to predict the popular incorrect answers from students. The results provide useful but indirect information to make inferences about teachers' knowledge of the ...
