Physics is the natural science which examines basic concepts such as energy, force, and spacetime and all that derives from these, such as mass, charge, matter and its Motion ....
journals worldwide.

The journal publishes original papers in the areas of experimental, theoretical, applied and mathematical physics and related areas. All papers are strictly peer-reviewed before publication and reflect the progress made in the different areas of physics.

Many very important articles about scientific discoveries have been first published in the journal, including Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein was a Germany-born theoretical physics. He is best known for his theory of relativity and specifically mass?energy equivalence, expressed by the equation E = mc2....
