Physics Research

Its goal is to understand the structure of the universe and to find a mathematical way of representation for observed phenomena.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

Physics research is a major part of modern society and its results underlie many inventions beneficial to humanity.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

[1] A characteristic feature of physics research is to discover new phenomena and to develop new measurement methods from found phenomena.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

For example, phenomena discovered by physicists and methods such as NMR spectroscopy, X-ray radiation, tunneling microscopy and positron emission tomography are widely used even outside of physics research.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

The methods are used in medicine, as well as in the fields of pharmacy, chemistry and biology for the study of various substances and organisms.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

[1] Many technically demanding fields of physics, such as particle physics and space exploration, contribute to technical and computer expertise by their requirements.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

[2] [3] Research Areas Physics research can be divided into different areas depending on the method of study and the objectives of the study and, of course, into different specialties depending on the research subjects.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

Experimental and Theoretical Research At the general level, the study of physics can be divided into theoretical and experimental research.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

[4] Observing natural phenomena aims at finding patterns and principles related to the phenomenon.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

[5] Experimental observation therefore allows the formation of theories explaining phenomena.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

[6] In experimental research, the physical phenomenon is tested using measuring instruments.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

The three main themes of experimental research in physics are (1) the discovery of new phenomena, (2) testing and applying existing theories, and (3) the attempt to measure the values of different physical constants always only more accurately.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

[7] An important part of quantitative experimental research is the determination of miscalculations for the measured majors.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

[8] Theoretical research seeks to predict new physical phenomena or explain those already observed.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

[9] Theoretical research can be done by deriving new ones from already known law secrets or applying them, for example in simulation.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

If a theoretical model is constructed from already known equations without matched parameters, it is said that the model is derived ab initio (), that is, “from the beginning”.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

In the ideal case, all research could be theoretical if known equations described reality well enough.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

Then all situations could be tested in a simulation and experiments would no longer be needed.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

Current simulations of molecular motion and binding are already quite capable of achieving results similar to reality, for example in the case of small molecules and short time scales.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

[10] More complex, large molecular set phenomena cannot be predicted very far due not only to the large parameter numbers involved, but also to the inherent chaoticism of systems.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

In this case, one must satisfy statistical models, that is, to study the probabilities of various numerical solutions.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

The chaoticism makes predicting weather and climate change accurate, for example, tricky, even on supercomputers.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

[11] Basic research and applied research, on the other hand, can also be divided into basic research and applied research.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

In basic research, the subject under study does not immediately see direct application; research is conducted out of sheer curiosity with the aim of generating new information.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

However, some of the basic research may sooner or later lead to significant applications that no one guessed expected.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

Applying the results of basic research to new practical problems is the objective of applied research, and although some of the results have followed very soon after discovery, in practice the potential for exploiting new research is often seen only years from now.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

Examples of physics concepts and inventions that have found applications include energy, electromagnetism, X-ray radiation, concise relativity, laser, NMR phenomenon, and high magnetoresistance.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

[1] History Before the 20th century, the development of modern science, including physics, can be considered to have originated in ancient Greece.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

When earlier attempts were made to explain natural phenomena by mythologies, in the 600th century before the beginning of the period, Greek philosophers began to explain phenomena based on observations, causes and logic.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

[12] However, experimental research was not carried out by the philosophers of the time.

[13] The experimental research methods of modern physics, and more generally of science as a whole, have been created during the heyday of medieval Islamic science and subsequently in Europe at the beginning of a new age, at the time of the scientific revolution, initially with the work of Galileo Galilei, René Descartes and Isaac Newton.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

Prior to this, the empiristic philosophy of science, which had come into favour at the beginning of the new age, had been satisfied mostly with natural philosophical reflections and faith in authority.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

After the scientific revolution, nature was understood as if under mechanical laws as a machine that could be studied by experimental methods and whose operation could be predicted through mathematics.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

As recently as the 18th century, however, the study of natural philosophy was generally not quantitative — the scientific method was not yet fully developed — and there was no systematic syllabus to train scientists.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

[14] Physics research differed little from natural philosophy, eventually differentiating itself into its own science only during the 19th century.

[15] Until the beginning of the century, the study of physics was practically on the shoulders of Europeans, as there was clearly less basic research in the United States.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

However, an MIT rector's statement from 1889 tells of the appreciation of students: “our goal should be to take care of the student, not scientific inventions, not professional achievements.” [16] Also in early 20th-century Japan, physics was studied at universities in Tokyo and Kyoto, but Japan was not yet the top countries in physics research at that time.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

At the beginning of the 20th century, the German Society of Physicists was internationally viewed at the pinnacle of physics research and thus much of the physics research was published in German.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

[17] The level of European physics research at that time can be seen not only in the fact that 600 out of just under 900 physicists in the world came from Europe in 1900, [18] but also in the large number of Nobel physics prizes awarded to Central European physicists between 1901 and 1920.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

It is typical of megacity that it produces results only after funding reaches a certain sufficient level, as opposed to linearly behaving “normal” research, whose productivity always increases as monetary input increases.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

[35] Much of mega science is physics related projects.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

The modern megacity is considered to have begun with the Manhattan Project in the 1940s.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

[36] Megascience projects illustrate the change in the status and funding of science that occurred in the 20th century.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

Major science in the field of physics is represented today by particle accelerators, synchrotron radiation plants, research reactors, fusion reactors, free-electron lasers, the Hubble Space Telescope, and the European Southern Observatory.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

[37] [38] [39] Internationality Several big physics research projects are multinational.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

In Europe alone, a number of projects are under way, with more than ten countries contributing to the financing.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

[37] For example, a total of 37 countries around the world participate in the LHC accelerator project at CERN on the Franco-Swiss border.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

[40] In many small-scale research projects, internationalism is also commonplace.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

Studies are usually conducted as a collaboration between scientists working at different institutes, as different laboratories specialize in different subject areas.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

For example, in research published in materials physics studies, several different measurement methods may have been used, the measured samples have been prepared in one laboratory and a theoretical review of the subject conducted in another.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

Moreover, the transfer of researchers from one country to another, for example, to carry out a postdoctoral period makes research teams international.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

[24] Funding Before World War II, funding for physics research was low.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

During the war in the United States, the amount of money spent by the government on research rose from an annual 48 million to 500 million US dollars.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

[41] Wartime investments in physics research made it easier for physicists to receive money from the state for their projects even in the post-war period.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

[42] Physics is studied mainly through public funds.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

Large construction projects can be either governmental, funded by several states or by an umbrella organisation such as the UN or the European Union.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

For example, space exploration is funded in the United States and Russia with public funds through NASA and the Russian Space Agency.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

Industry is also funded by applied physics research.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

In Finland, industrial innovations and joint projects between industry and research institutes are financed, among others, by Tekes, whose support for various projects totalled around EUR 600 million in 2009.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

[43] Physics scientists usually receive their salaries either from public or private universities or independent research institutes.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

However, researchers can also apply for personal or project-specific project or scholarships from various science academies and foundations.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

Some of the foundations get their money from the state; others are compiled from funds from private people.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

In Finland, projects and grants are awarded annually to physicists by the Academy of Finland, among others the Finnish Academy of Science, the Finnish Cultural Foundation and the Emil Aaltonen Foundation.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

Research with the grant has increased the researcher's pension in Finland since the beginning of 2009 [44], but the grant still does not qualify for an earnings-related unemployment allowance if the researcher remains unemployed after the grant period.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

[45] Ethics of Physics Research Although much of physics research is peaceful and seeks to promote technological progress on a general level, the phenomena invented by physicists have not always produced well-being alone.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

A famous example of this is the World War II Manhattan Project, which aimed to produce a weapon of mass destruction.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

Ethical questions about physics are therefore closely related to the ethical and political purposes for which physics research is produced.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

As an example of purely technical research without questioning background values, one can cite the development of a neutron bomb to meet the needs of military industries.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

The neutron radiation from the bomb kills people, but leaves infrastructure like buildings intact.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

The motivation of a physicist involved in such research is not necessarily destructive or misanthropic.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

[46] As in other fields, in addition to general ethical issues, a researcher may face conflicts of interest requiring ethical thought in their mundane work.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

An entity or close colleague who funds research may require a researcher to circumvent or outright violate internal standards of science, such as transparency and integrity.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

[47] Scientific hoaxes and the confusion of research results All research relies on the assumption that scientists follow the common ethical rules of science, namely research ethics.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

There have been a few cases of much attention in the field of physics where there have been suspicions of accidental or intentional deception.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

The first to attract attention was a cold fusion invented in 1989, [48] whose alleged functionality is suspected to have been due to misinterpreted measurement results.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

Still, the possibilities of cold fusion are still being explored.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

[49] In 2002, a gross scientific fraudulence committed by Jan Hendrik Schön, a young physicist who worked at Bell Labs, was revealed.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

Schön had published sensational research results in well-respected journals such as Science and Nature.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

He had also been awarded several times for his discoveries in materials research and many even awarded him the Nobel Prize.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

[50] In 2001, he claimed to have invented the molecular transistor and published studies at an incredible pace, with no fewer than 90 publications over a period of about three years.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

[50] However, it soon became apparent that other researchers, despite their attempts, could not reproduce his results and he found himself using the same measurement results in different contexts, claiming they were from different materials.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

The committee investigating the case said Schön falsified the measurement results for at least sixteen publications.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

Around the same time, a scientific hoax was also uncovered at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL).


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

Scientists at the lab claimed to have found elements 116 and 118, but later retracted their claims.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

[51] Prior to these cases, fraudulence had not been accustomed to the field of physics, since vilp had been thought to be mainly a problem for disciplines studying hard-to-replicate biological systems.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

[51] Schön's case shocked academia and physicists in particular.


Question: When was the Solvay Conference first held?

Physics Research

More attention began to be given to the code of ethics after that.
