As longtime science and technology leaders Vint Cerf and France Córdova argue, ongoing dialogue is needed to ensure that the infrastructure supporting science is able to keep up with rapid change in the tools for scientific discovery. physicstoday.aip.org/opinion…

We made @Jeopardy last night! In the Double Jeopardy round, contestant Frank Merchlewitz picked an $800 clue (a Daily Double!) that mentioned our first issue's iconic cover: "His porkpie hat was on a 1948 cover of Physics Today & faithfully reproduced decades later on film" Do you know whose hat it was?

GPS spoofing, the practice of falsifying location data, is becoming more common and harder to prevent, writes Sarah Wells. Researchers have proposed and tested a new approach that uses messages encoded in quantum states to authenticate an entity’s position. physicstoday.aip.org/news/qu…

Can the US dodge a dystopia in which political appointees micromanage science? Congress has put a hold on a rule proposed by the Office of Management and Budget that would create such a scenario, and now the science community is working for the sweeping rule to either be choked or left to fizzle out. physicstoday.aip.org/news/sc…

The @ScienceAcad_swe announced today that Francis Halzen will receive the 2026 @NobelPrize in Physics “for decisive contributions to @uw_icecube and the discovery of high-energy neutrinos of astrophysical origin.” Read the full story by Laura Fattaruso. #physics #NobelPrize physicstoday.aip.org/news/fr…

"This was the kind of adventure where success was not guaranteed and we got lucky," said Francis Halzen after learning that he would receive the 2026 @NobelPrize in Physics for his decisive contributions to @uw_icecube. Here's our story, which will be updated throughout the day. #NobelPrize #physics physicstoday.aip.org/news/fr…

Lopatka's July 2023 article for @PhysicsToday detailed how data from @uw_icecube helped researchers determine that cosmic rays were the ultimate source of neutrinos in the Milky Way. physicstoday.aip.org/news/ne…

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced that Francis Halzen is to be awarded the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics for decisive contributions to the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and the discovery of high-energy neutrinos of astrophysical origin.

In honor of the 250th anniversary of US independence, three @penn_state researchers created an acoustic model of the Liberty Bell. Using a replica housed at @PSBehrend, they found that the bell’s tuning closely approximates that of an ideally tuned bell. #America250 #acoustics physicstoday.aip.org/quick-s…
