A brief history of physics reviews
Nature Reviews Physics, 2019A definitive historical study of the review article is yet to be written, but recent advances in the history of scientific publishing provide a better understanding of its emergence and transformations in a broader context. Roberto Lalli discusses review articles in physics, by looking at the historical evolution of this scientific genre.

Journal of Physics & Optics Sciences, 2022
Physics is an exact science and studies the quantitative regularities of natural phenomena at both the macroscopic and microscopic levels. The term "physics" first appears in the works of Aristotle in antiquity. In the early days, the terms "physics" and "philosophy" (natural) were used as synonyms, as both were intended to explain the laws of the ...

The history of physics and European physics education
Science & Education, 1996In the last fifteen years a small group of European physicists has been working towards an approach to physics education based on the actual practices of physics research. The standard presentation through traditional textbooks plus didactic laboratory is rejected, and instead case studies contributing and borrowing from contemporary history ...

ENRY DAVID THOREAU expressed it simply: "The life which men praise and regard as successful is but one kind. Why should we exaggerate any one kind at the expense of the others?"' In recent years, we-those writing on the history of American physics-have exaggerated the life of the twentieth-century physicist-politician.

Physical Symmetries of Quantum Histories
Communications in Mathematical Physics, 1999This interesting paper continues the author's investigation into various aspects of the quantum history approach to statistical physical systems. A decoherence functional \(d\) on the \(\text{W}^*\)-algebra \(A\) is a complex-valued function \((p,q)\to d(p,q)\) from the set \({\mathcal P}(A)\times{\mathcal P}(A)\) of pairs of projections in \(A\) such ...

Physics Today, 1983
On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine, it is appropriate to look at the history of the field of medical physics. This is not to imply that the history of the AAPM and the history of the field of medical physics are synonymous, but the latter does help us understand the former: By examining the ...

Physics Today, 1962
IN June 1961 the American Physical Society and the American Philosophical Society applied through a joint committee to the US National Science Foundation for a three-year grant “to record interviews with men central in the 1913–1938 quantum revolution and to retrieve documentary material on quantum theory and related scientific developments, 1898–1938”.

On Teaching the History of Physics
American Journal of Physics, 1964After reviewing trends in general courses in college physics, the author discusses potential objectives in teaching the history of physics, viz., cultural, pedagogical, research. He emphasizes the necessity for a cultural bridge that will include history, philosophy, and science (the basic course preferably given by a scientist, if an understanding of ...
