Maybe “shoot for the moon” isn’t the best strategy after all? 🌙

A model suggests the optimal level of ambition is slightly above average: ambitious enough to reach better opportunities, but not so high you waste time chasing impossible goals. Read more in @PhysRevE: https://t.co/PlSnBAa1uj

Classical #BlackHoles are thought to be perfectly rigid — but what if they’re not?

A new study in APS Open Science analyzes how black holes respond to tidal forces, revealing that internal structure could leave distinct signatures: https://t.co/O8lQbqA7A4

In May 1931, Georges Lemaître proposed a radical idea: the universe had a beginning. 💥
His “primeval atom” hypothesis — once dismissed by Einstein as “abominable” — laid the foundation for what we now call the Big Bang theory. Read more in #APSNews: https://t.co/DfOmytgLLu

New research in @PRX_Life shows how corals use their beating cilia to create tiny 3D vortices that help move oxygen, nutrients, and waste across their surfaces. 🪸

✨ Gold stays shiny for centuries. Now we know why.

A new study in @PhysRevLett reveals that when gold surfaces rearrange into hexagonal patterns, they become more resistant to oxygen-driven corrosion and slow the process by more than a billion times: https://t.co/GVMEc8xgso

New research in APS Open Science shows the electronic properties of multilayer graphene can be determined by considering each layer of the stack independently — offering a clearer path to custom-designed materials.

An “invisibility cloak” for heat? Researchers are getting closer. 🔥

Using #MachineLearning, scientists designed metamaterials that guide heat around an object while leaving the surrounding temperature field almost unchanged. Read more in @PhysRevLett: https://t.co/s6XGHK0w8h

We turned 127 today. 🎉

Older than sliced bread, teddy bears, and the ice cream cone. Still very into #physics.

Stardust trapped in Antarctic ice is revealing how our interstellar environment has changed. 🧊

Iron-60 found in 40,000-80,000-year-old ice strengthens evidence that it came from #Supernovae beyond our solar system. Read more in @PhysRevLett: https://t.co/9l6PSKVzvB

🌀 A study in @PhysRevD details a new method to more consistently estimate galaxy masses.

Researchers used pulsar “chips” to weight satellite galaxies, avoiding uncertainties found in other methods caused by the #MilkyWay’s evolution: https://t.co/QPPebEjl40
