Engineers have been adapting biological materials into robotics in recent years. One of the latest versions of this trend is “necroprinting,” in which researchers built a microscale 3D printer around a mosquito’s proboscis. Made to pierce thick skin to reach …
The string theory hype machine will never die. This week we have I’ve been documenting this sort of ridiculous hype for more than twenty years now. It has done a huge amount of damage to the public understanding of science …
Seven UC Berkeley faculty members from a broad range of fields are among the 2024 class of fellows elected to the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), one of the world’s largest general scientific societies and publisher of …
In this last part of our series on recently digitized books from the Wenner Collection, we are focusing on works that showcase the reception and legacies of physicists and astrophysicists in the 20th century. See Part 1: Popularizing Natural Philosophy …
Cardiff University, School of Physics and Astronomy are delighted to host The National Astronomy Meeting 2023 (NAM23) in July 2023. To celebrate the event, we are inviting you to share your love of all things space in one of two …
The duo is recognized for the discovery of “twistronics,” a breakthrough in material science that allows scientists to control electronic behavior—including superconductivity—by simply rotating layers of graphene. PRESS RELEASE FUNDACIÓN BBVA The BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Basic …
Recently, I gave a couple of perspective talks on quantum advantage, one at the annual retreat of the CIQC and one at a recent KITP programme. I started off by polling the audience on who believed quantum advantage had been …
String theory was supposed to be physics’ grand theory of everything. While it’s (so far) failed in that aspect, string theory’s principles should still be useful because its mathematical framework is so solid. In a new paper, researchers have demonstrated …

A quick update on what has been going on here at Columbia in recent months: The campus has been rather quiet this semester, about to get much more so as the semester ends and we go into winter break. The …
