With their experiments on an electric circuit in which all the electrons together behaved like a single particle, the laureates provided the first demonstration of quantum behavior at a macroscopic scale.

Defying the often-perceived incompatibility between the two subjects, some physicists are using poetry to communicate science and to explore the human side of their work.
When thousands of people are packed into a confined space, collective dynamics takes over. The phenomenon can be described with a physical model.
Research exchanges between US and Soviet scientists during the second half of the 20th century may be instructive for navigating today’s debates on scientific collaboration.
The Eisenhower administration dismissed the director of the National Bureau of Standards in 1953. Suspecting political interference with the agency’s research, scientists fought back—and won.

The road to the modern machine-learning marvels was paved with ideas from statistical mechanics and collective phenomena.
The prizewinning research enhances understanding of nature’s molecular toolkit and enables the construction of novel proteins.
With inspiration from neuroscience and the physics of atomic spins, John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton created the tools that underpin AI technology.
By confining electrons to nanoscale spaces, the laureates created crystals that emit light at specific wavelengths. That behavior has been harnessed for displays and other technologies.
