British physicist-turned-biologist Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA 100 years ago. Crick had a convoluted route to this important discovery.

Max Planck was a German physicist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918. 

Einstein's groundbreaking theory of general relativity has remained an essential hallmark of modern physics.

I could not bring myself to accept string theory’s claim, often presented as a scientific fact, that there are exactly 11 dimensions.

Physicists, in recent years, have been trying to find evidence of antimatter in the universe. Its existence could overturn the Big Bang theory.
