Physics on the Rocks: Accessible Physics Talks and Discussion

The Second Physics on the Rocks of 2026!

We'll have 3 talks by students, graduate students, and faculty. This months talk cover interesting ideas about extensions of quantum mechanics, and the ways the physics of materials apply to everyday items and technology.

As always, we'll also have plenty of time to talk/socialize in between the presentations.

On the first Tuesday of every month, the UT Austin Physics department presents "Physics on the Rocks" hosted by Darwin's Pub and Piano Bar. This is a fun, informal event where physics faculty and students give a series of short talks on a variety of topics (ranging from the physics of beer bubbles to debates about the multiverse and everything in-between) meant to be accessible to a general audience. There's a lot of time to chat in between the talks and to ask questions of the speakers. Come have a drink and learn and discuss physics with us!
Stay afterwards for live music! It's a great venue and the owner is a fellow science enthusiast!
