@Mundhir Thank you @Mundhir! Unfortunately the app is currently not available. I will let you know if/when that changes

[Physical Review D @PhysRevD]

A Viewpoint by C. Macedo in @PhysicsMagazine covers work in PRL and PRD. Hypothetical bosons, like axions, may form clouds around black holes, described as "gravitational atoms", a phenomenon that could show up in gravitational wave signals. #physics

[Physical Review Letters @PhysRevLett]

Gravitational-wave signals from black hole mergers could reveal the presence of “gravitational atoms”—black holes surrounded by clouds of axions or other light bosons.

[ESA's Euclid mission @ESA_Euclid]

#ESAEuclid celebrates first science with sparkling cosmic views! 🤩

The images are part of Euclid’s Early Release Observations — just 24 hours of observations, 17 targets, over 11 million objects revealed in visible light and 5 million more in infrared light.

Access them here👉 https://t.co/4s0QrjpSh3 and read more about each image below 🧵👇

[Gianfranco Bertone @gfbertone]

Heads up: @esa is releasing a new set of images captured by the @ESA_Euclid space telescope. Broadcast of the reveal on Thursday 23 May at 12:00 CEST 👇👇

[ESA's Euclid mission @ESA_Euclid]

T- 1⃣ day and we're ready to unveil five new sparkling images from #ESAEuclid! 🤩

I have just returned from a truly stimulating three-month sabbatical in New York City. In this post, I briefly reflect on the overall experience to ask: was it all worth it? https://t.co/Otv9wKcSPD

Due to ongoing turmoil at Columbia U., the “Future of Dark Matter” brainstorming workshop that I co-organised with my friends and colleagues @Elena_Aprile and Lam Hui, initially planned at Columbia U., was hosted at the @SimonsFdn CCA. A brief recap: https://t.co/yTaYAkAIri

[Daniele Gaggero @DanieleGaggero]

Dark matter can reach extremely high densities around intermediate-mass black holes and induce environmental effects that can be probed with gravitational waves. Here is a realistic description of the formation of such overdensities: https://t.co/kl29L7sldO (1/3)

@elonmusk @PhysInHistory The case for dark matter is built upon decades of research and observation. For a broad historical perspective on the discoveries and arguments that led the scientific community to adopt it as an essential part of the standard cosmological model, see

Join us for a special @Eucapt Colloquium tomorrow, Jocelyn Bell will speak about "Women is Physics". Abstract: After some 60 yrs as an astrophysicist in the UK, what overall trends do I see in gender balance, where are we now, what lessons might we learn? https://t.co/UbrqCD8VhE

Join us in Amsterdam this Spring for the 1st conference of the “European AI for fundamental physics” consortium. Abstract submission open until 15 January 👇

[Christoph Weniger @C_Weniger]

🎺 We are proud to announce the first European AI for fundamental physics conference, EuCAIFCon 2024 (30 April - 3 May 2024, Amsterdam). The aim of this event is to establish new connections between AI activities across various branches of fundamental physics.

[Gianfranco Bertone @gfbertone]

And a big thank you to the students from across the Netherlands who participated in the initiative, to their teachers, to the deserving winners, and to the promise of an even more spectacular 2024 NL Cosmos Prize event. Cheers!
