Epstein's Zorro Ranch maintained private microwave communications links probably to the Sandia & Los Alamos nuclear weapons labs; 11 missing or killed nuclear scientists including several linked to the Los Alamos lab
Why isn’t this a bigger story?

Physicist Sonja Ashauer was born 103 years ago today. In 1948 she became the first Brazilian woman to earn a PhD in physics, and she was on her way to a brilliant career in the field of quantum physics when she caught pneumonia and died at the age of just 23.

This semester, I formalized reading assignments on the work of science in my classical mechanics course.
I've called them 'Exercise 0' and they focus on labor, capital, and transparency.

Chemist and physicist Ida Noddack was born 130 years ago today. In 1925 she and her husband co-discovered Rhenium, and her 1934 paper criticizing some results of Fermi anticipated the theory of nuclear fission.

Hey #physicsSky, question from an 11-year old that I'm too tired to answer:
Where do photons go? Like, they bounce off of stuff and some hit our eyes and do something and that's sight, but what about photons that don't reflect off of a dark blanket or don't get all the way into a cave or dark place?
🔄How fast can a microlaser switch between competing states? Physics reveals a clear speed limit.
#PKUResearch team led by Prof. Xiao Yunfeng explores ultrahigh-Q microcavity lasers and their rapid, abrupt mode switching, key for reconfigurable photonic chips.

A five-day lecture series complemented the main program, offering graduate students and early-career researchers a deeper dive into the field—and a glimpse of its future.🌌

Organized by the School of Physics and hosted by the Center for High Energy Physics, the event featured 30+ invited talks spanning scattering amplitudes, conformal bootstrap, S-matrix theory, quantum integrability, and gravitational waves.
#PekingUniversity #AcademicSky #PhysicsSky
Gravity brought us together—literally.
From 5–16 January 2026, the International Workshop on New Frontiers of Quantum Field and Gravity convened 130+ scholars from around the globe at #PekingUniversity.

The I-field breaks T-symmetry via the dissipation term γu^μ∂_μI in the field equation:
□I + m²I + λI³ + γu^μ∂_μI = -g_I J
This is fundamental irreversibility—not emergent, not statistical!

The study builds on the team’s 2024 formulation of the singularity-dispersion equation, further clarifying why this framework can bypass the conventional trade-off between strong confinement and high loss in #nanophotonics.

Okay, now I want to know EXACTLY what velocity a hoagie/italian/sub-sandwich must achieve to pierce Kevlar.
I mean, my physics is weak, but such a velocity must (at least theoretically) exist, right?
Would 4,000 ft/second, for example, cut the mustard?
More?

Their experiments distinguished the long-debated Higgs and Leggett modes by systematically tuning terahertz (THz) pump pulses, revealing how tailored THz pulses can control superconducting dynamics at the quantum level.
