Take a self-guided tour from quantum to cosmos!

Spring/Summer 2014

Perimeter has gained a reputation as a good home for young people who are forward thinking, for out-of-the-box thinkers. And I like the environment I work in to be warm – not physically warm, obviously, since I am moving from California to Canada. But when you walk into Perimeter, you get these feelings of energy. People have ideas. They are eager to work. They are nice to each other, and they share ideas. This energy is intoxicating. I can’t wait to start.

PI kids are asking: Why is rubber stretchy?

There are two connected reasons why rubber is stretchy. One has to do with what rubber looks like deep down…

Fall/Winter 2019

At Perimeter, we like to say we run mostly on chalk and caffeine, but it's time to acknowledge a third fuel: silicon. Computational physics is becoming increasingly important at Perimeter and across the field. This issue of Inside the Perimeter explores the rich interconnection of physics and computing. Also in this issue: - Success at the Breakthrough Prize - In discussion with Sir Martin Rees - A former physics summer student gets back on the bus for ISSYP - The fascinating history of digital computing ... and much more

Spring/Summer 2019

After decades of speculation, theory, and indirect observation, we finally have visual proof: black holes exist. The first image of a black hole, released by the Event Horizon Telescope, or EHT, is truly astonishing. Ten years in the making, it is the highest resolution image in the history of science. The image is a triumph, but it is not an end. As we explore in this special issue, this is just the beginning. Also in this issue: - Robert Myers becomes Perimeter's new Director - In conversation with Roger Penrose - A young woman researcher explores the impact of Emmy Noether - A quantum history of the light bulb ... and much more.

Fall/Winter 2018

In this issue of Inside the Perimeter Magazine: - Dive into the quandary at the heart of quantum physics, and discover some recent advances in the field - Dig into some of the challenges facing women and other minorities in physics, and avenues to correct the imbalance - Enjoy updates from Perimeter's Outreach efforts - And discover the answer to another PI Kids question: how are elements made?
