What is the world made of? This question, which goes back millennia, was revisited by theoretical physicist Steven Weinberg from the University of Texas in Austin, TX, USA in the first of an ...
The theoretical construct brought by so-called effective field theories allows a better articulation of the tension between the natural reductionist force at play in physical sciences and the need to ...
Effective field theories (EFTs) furnish a framework to describe low-energy phenomena without detailed knowledge of underlying high-energy dynamics. In such theories, interactions are organised as an ...
A lecture by the pioneer of Effective Field Theories (EFTs), Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg, has been published. This introduces the concept of EFTs, their historical development and their application ...
Over the past century, a wide variety of models have emerged to explain the complex behaviours which unfold within atomic nuclei at low energies. However, these theories bring up deep philosophical ...
