Does spacetime have indivisible units, or quanta, even though it does not seem to be divisible like matter? Researchers have proposed using a widely distributed quantum state to probe the essential features of quantum theory in the curved spacetime of Earth’s gravitational field.

Are your weather forecasts in danger? Next week join weather and storm experts Mike Nelson, Jana Houser, Tim Marshall, & Josh Morgerman—moderated by Alan Sealls—as they discuss impacts of government cuts on the weather community and public. Register now: bit.ly/462OQU2 @girlswhochase.com

Read about the first electronic-photonic quantum system-on-chip! bit.ly/40ZUlPE 💡⚛️ The scheme combines #quantum light sources and stabilizing electronics in a commercial CMOS foundry, paving the way for silicon quantum photonics to achieve the scale needed for future quantum information systems.

Teaching robots new tricks 🐶! Our team at NSD's Applied Nuclear Physics Group is developing multi-sensor systems that map radiation in 3D in real-time, helping robots autonomously investigate hazardous areas. 📹: BerkeleyLab #RadiationDetection #Robotics #NuclearPhysics #Science

Two spacecraft orbiting Earth have begun to mimic a solar eclipse, with images from one of the duo’s successful early attempts unveiled on June 16.

Researchers used an Earth system model to test how radiation from a nearby supernova would affect life on our planet. New article by @aubreyzerkle.bsky.social! #SciComm #SciNews sciworthy.com/is-earth-saf...

The OVATION model which produces a statistical auroral oval based on solar wind conditions, is showing an active, epxanded oval due to the extended south Bz we are now experiencing. Folks close to the Canadian border have a chance to see the aurora right after sunset tonight.

Here we see a prototype alignment system based on the Structured Laser Beam (SLB). Due to its unique characteristics, it can establish a long reference line, suitable for the alignment of particle accelerators.

Deep inside the Earth, just above the boundary where the solid mantle meets the liquid core, the velocity of seismic waves abruptly increases. For years, no-one was entirely sure why. Now geophysicists in Switzerland and Japan say they've solved the mystery. ⚛️🧪 physicsworld.com/a/mysterious...

ATLAS records its first-ever oxygen-oxygen collisions at the LHC! 🎇 These collisions offer a new way to explore the quark-gluon plasma in smaller systems — bridging the gap between proton-lead and lead-lead collisions. 🔗 Learn more: atlas.cern/Updates/News...

Bound to be discovered? 🌌 Physicists at the ATLAS Experiment at @cern.bsky.social have observed a "quasi-bound" state formed by a top quark and an anti-top quark – an interaction so subtle it was long thought undetectable at the #LHC. 🔗 Learn more ⤵️ atlas.cern/Updates/Brie...

In the world of sphere packing, there’s been debate about whether order or a dash of chaos will give the best results. A recent proof marks a win for order. www.quantamagazine.org/new-sphere-p...

Clouds of gas and dust swirl within a nebula 5,000 light-years away, seen in more detail than ever before thanks to the Rubin Observatory.

The twunt is still mad I pointed out her hatred.....not surprising

She got mad after I posted the truth.

Researchers developed a soft #robotic arm that changes shape under the influence of #laser light and that can achieve complex tasks. “This is a step toward having safer, more capable robotics for various applications.” Read the story: bit.ly/3ZDX8xy #technology 💡⚛️🧪

A solar telescope has captured the sharpest ever images of the sun's surface, revealing magnetic fields that ripple and shift like fabric fluttering in the wind. Check out our latest #OpenAccess article to explore the implications of this discovery: ow.ly/e7gi50WaCPY #astro

Astronomers have observed a pulsar that becomes partially eclipsed by an orbiting companion star every few hours. This rare observation could shed new light on how binary star systems evolve. 🧪⚛️ physicsworld.com/a/short-live...

Recent observations of a well-studied but confounding galaxy provide new insights into the structure of low-luminosity active galactic nuclei. @umich.edu aasnova.org/2025/06/18/x... 🔭🧪

Thanks to new experiments using the DIPOLE 100-X laser at the European XFEL, physicists have obtained the first detailed view of the microstructure of carbon in its liquid state. 🧪⚛️ physicsworld.com/a/liquid-car...

Astronomers have discovered the "missing link" connecting the death of sunlike stars to the birth of white dwarf stellar remnants! This white dwarf ravenously feeds on stellar plasma from a companion star, providing insight into a rare and short-lived early phase of these objects:
