Physicists Reveal a New Type of Twisting Solid That Behaves Almost Like a Living Material
The discovery of “rotating crystals” marks a major leap in physics and materials research. These unusual solids, composed of spinning particles, behave almost like living systems—twisting, fragmenting, and rebuilding themselves.

Dark Matter Might Leave A Faint Colour Mark In Light, Say Scientists
Dark matter, though invisible, might subtly alter the colour of light passing through it, according to a new University of York study. Researchers propose that weak particle interactions could create faint red or blue tints, offering a new path for future telescopes to detect dark matter indirectly.

Physicists Identify Loophole in Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle While Preserving Its Validity
Physicists have identified a loophole in Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle that allows simultaneous measurement of a particle’s position and momentum in modular form. The approach, demonstrated with trapped ions, avoids breaking the principle itself while promising advances in quantum sensors, navigation systems, and precision clocks.

SpaceX Launches IMAP, CGO, SWFO-L1 to Probe Solar Frontier and Space Weather
A Falcon 9 lifted off from Kennedy Space Center on Sept. 24, 2025, carrying NASA’s IMAP, CGO, and SWFO-L1 spacecraft. The mission aims to chart the heliosphere’s boundary, monitor Earth’s geocorona, and deliver constant space-weather alerts, protecting satellites and astronauts while expanding knowledge of the solar system’s outer edge.

sPHENIX Detector Clears Test to Study Quark-Gluon Plasma Which Formed After the Big Bang, Claims Study
Scientists at Brookhaven’s RHIC have calibrated the sPHENIX detector, confirming it can track particle collisions with high precision. Now ready for full operations, sPHENIX will study quark-gluon plasma—the fleeting primordial matter from the Big Bang. By analyzing its “ashes,” physicists aim to reconstruct how the universe looked in its e...

NASA’s OSIRIS-REx Mission Finds Stardust in Asteroid Bennu Older Than the Solar System
NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission has found presolar stardust grains inside Bennu’s samples. These tiny particles, older than the Sun, carry chemical fingerprints of ancient stars and interstellar space. Bennu thus serves as a pristine time capsule, preserving the earliest clues to the birth of our solar system.
