A theoretical study finds the universe's physical constants must allow liquids to flow for life to exist, while separate research derives Einstein's equations from quantum information principles.

The Einstein Probe satellite observed nearly ten minutes of soft X-ray emission following a short gamma-ray burst from a neutron star merger, revealing a hidden stage of activity likely powered by a magnetar remnant.

Two independent research teams have created the first working nuclear clocks by using narrow-linewidth lasers to drive a transition in thorium-229 nuclei embedded in crystals, achieving record stability for new physics searches.

A ten-year NIST experiment has produced a new measurement of the gravitational constant, big G, that differs from a leading 2007 result.

A Nature Physics perspective argues that reproducibility challenges in moiré material experiments must be addressed from the outset in material growth.

A new study from Hebrew University of Jerusalem shows cracks begin as tiny 2D patches that creep slowly long before the explosive break.

Researchers at TU Darmstadt have shown that soft polymer particles called microgels can dramatically extend the stability of thin water jets.

A new study analyzes the potential for detecting inelastic xenon excitation signals in the LZ dark matter experiment.

A research team has embedded nanoscale platinum channels within a magnetic insulator to achieve spin-based thermoelectric conversion in a bulk material.

A research team has captured the first ultrafast video of an exciton forming and shrinking within 400 femtoseconds.

Stanford and SLAC researchers used MeV-UED to detect unexpectedly strong ultrafast optical signals in II-VI semiconductors.

A new analysis of leading-neutron production data from the HERA collider uses the Sullivan process and target-fragmentation modeling to constrain the structure of the pion.

Researchers have experimentally demonstrated altermagnetism, a distinct magnetic state, in a homostructure created by twisting two layers of the van der Waals material CrPS4.

Researchers report a new magnetic avalanche detector using Fe8 single-molecule magnets, achieving an experimental threshold at least two orders of magnitude lower than previous designs.

A Japanese research team has demonstrated a record 10-channel multiplexed quantum photonic interface using an integrated waveguide array.

The ATLAS experiment at the LHC has performed the first complete measurement of the Z+jets production cross section.
