Anthony Leggett not only made a name for himself as a pioneering academic physicist but in 2003 he shared the Nobel Prize in physics for his research on superfluidity and the theory of superfluidity. However, he had left science at school as something “incomprehensible” – especially physics, which “knows in one ear and out the … Read more
For the first time, physicists have discovered that ‘holes’ of light can travel faster than light itself. They are known as phase singularities or optical vortices, and since the 1970s, scientists have predicted that, just as the eddies in the river can move faster than the water flowing around them, so can the waves of … Read more
A century later, the quantum the land is still incredibly productive and stubborn a miracle. Its equations are parallel laser devices and LEDsguide the MRI scanner, and underwrite the transistors that heat up our phones, yet leave us confused as to what numbers it really tells us about the truth. The theory predicts about amazing … Read more

One of the biggest unsolved problems in physics has to do with combining quantum mechanics and general relativity – two theories that are equally successful. And the latest attempt to close the bridge brings into the equation the explosion that started everything: the Big Bang. In a recent paper in Physical Review Letters, physicists at … Read more
What happened to Big Betty? Evanston residents are concerned that their area’s moose are looking worse for wear this spring. Big Betty is a moose known to many who live in this southwestern Wyoming town. They often find it resting in their yard, sometimes with a calf next to it. When Shasta Sharp saw Big … Read more
Michael Reichmuth, a fisheries biologist for the National Park Service, often dives in the cold waters of San Francisco Bay Area parks and beaches. Most of the time, he is busy at work, monitoring the endangered coho salmon. He’s been here for over 20 years, according to the NPS article, so he’s seen a lot … Read more
Animals are driven by passion – whether it’s the lasting bonds that last a lifetime like swans or the short, intense, fleeting, stormy love of snow leopards, finding a mate is an important part of being alive. We’ve collected some of the best stories of love and attraction from the world of wildlife. The most … Read more
researchers may have found the first direct evidence of ancient black holes, which could revolutionize our understanding of dark matter. A gravitational wave, captured by LIGO in November 2025proposed a revolutionary hypothesis: the collision that produced the signal may not have involved ordinary black holes in stars, but rather black holes formed in the early … Read more
When our powerful infrared telescopes allowed astronomers to look further into the future, they made some amazing discoveries. One of them involves supermassive black holes (SMBH), the physics-defying behemoths at the center of massive galaxies such as the Milky Way. In fact, the SMBH grew much faster in the jewelry world than it does in … Read more
