A machine learning study of elliptic curves has yielded patterns that bear an uncanny resemblance to the flocking behavior of starlings. https://t.co/g0vBWfLnOo

Carolina Figueiredo, a grad student at Princeton, recently uncovered a quantum conspiracy: Collisions involving three different types of subatomic particles all produce the same wreckage. https://t.co/6uaV6aRLQ3

From Cole Meldorf: In this Astrobite, we see if a phenomenon called gravitational wave memory can leave a noticeable imprint on the CMB! 🔭✨️

The strongest evidence for dark matter:

In hot plasma like the early Universe structure can't persist. Whenever matter is compressed by gravity it is driven apart by radiation pressure

The resulting oscillations wash out every seed of over density. Galaxies never form

Even the best minds in theoretical physics have felt the wrath of Jackson Electrodynamics.
Fernando Quevedo talks about his experience with Jackson Electrodynamics.

[Physics In History @PhysInHistory]

In the 1940s, Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar was committed to his teaching role at the University of Chicago, despite being based at the Yerkes Observatory. Each week, he traveled 80 miles to teach a special course attended by only two students.

The students were Tsung-Dao Lee and Chen-Ning Yang. They proved their mentor's faith was well-placed when they both won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957, years before Chandrasekhar received the same honor in 1983. Remarkably, this course went down in history as the only one where every attendee received a Nobel Prize, underscoring the extraordinary impact of Chandrasekhar's dedication and teaching.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of theoretical physicist and King's alumnus Peter Higgs whose work on particle physics was critical to our understanding of the Universe.
