'Halloween Fireballs' Could Threaten Earth In 2032 And 2036, Astronomers Warn
Recent research indicates that larger objects in the Taurid stream could pose a greater threat in 2032 and 2036, potentially exploding in the atmosphere or occasionally reaching the Earth's surface.

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.

Nobel Prize Winner, Chinese Physicist Chen-Ning Yang, Dies At 103
Chen Ning Yang was born in Hefei, east China's Anhui Province, in 1922. In the 1940s, he went to the United States to pursue academic studies and subsequently held teaching positions. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957.

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 Recreate Einstein’s Near-Light-Speed Illusion Predicted 70 Years Ago
Physicists have recreated the long-predicted Terrell-Penrose effect using ultra-fast lasers, showing how objects at near-light speed appear rotated rather than flattened. The experiment offers a visual insight into Einstein’s special relativity.

Physicists Predict When Life On Earth Will End In A Reverse Big Bang
A new study predicts the Universe will stop expanding in 11 billion years and collapse in a "Big Crunch" around 20 billion years from now.

Nobel Prize in Physics 2025 Awarded for Breakthroughs in Quantum Tunnelling and Energy Quantisation
Physicists John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John M. Martinis have won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for demonstrating macroscopic quantum tunnelling in superconducting circuits. Their experiments bridged theory and technology, forming the basis for superconducting qubits and today’s quantum computing and sensing technologies.

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.

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...
