As Civil Alchemy in Webster Groves saw an increase in demand for outdoor products during the pandemic, co-founder Ian VanDam decided it was time to expand. “I knew it was the right time at the end of ...

University of Chicago physicist Clay Córdova has been named a recipient of the 2026 New Horizons in Physics Prize for his ...

The mystery of dark matter—unseen, pervasive, and essential in standard cosmology—has loomed over physics for decades. In new research, I explore a different possibility: Rather than postulating new ...

To Ian VanDam, fashion isn’t just about clothing—it’s identity. His business, Field Theory (8153 Big Bend, Webster Groves), isn’t just a store—it’s a community. So it should come as no surprise that ...

Effective field theory (EFT) and hydrodynamics together provide a powerful lens through which to view the collective behaviour of quantum systems. EFT offers a systematic approach to model the ...

Mathematicians have struggled to understand the moduli space of graphs. A new paper uses tools from physics to peek inside. “That’s a super hard problem. It’s amazing they were able to,” said Dan ...

Vertex operator algebras (VOAs) lie at the intersection of mathematics and theoretical physics, providing a rigorous algebraic framework for two-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs). These ...
