Can ultracold fermionic matter efficiently simulate ground-state local observables of non-native Hamiltonians? We give numerical & theoretical evidence for a universal & hybrid digital-analog scheme with exponential advantage over the classical methods.

The Hubbard model describes the physics of strongly correlated electron systems, but is difficult to solve. Now, a scheme to systematically and efficiently relate the exactly solvable Hatsugai–Kohmoto model to the Hubbard model has been identified.

Junichiro Kono has been awarded the @APSphysics' 2026 Frank Isakson Prize for Optical Effects in Solids. His research paves the way for advanced light-based technologies—from faster and more efficient electronics to quantum communication. https://t.co/uNX7bsOzsI

[Tsinghua University @Tsinghua_Uni]

Prof. Chen Ning Yang, a world-renowned physicist, Nobel Laureate in Physics, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Professor at Tsinghua University, and Honorary Director of the Institute for Advanced Study at Tsinghua University, passed away in Beijing due to illness at the age of 103. His life stands as a timeless chapter in human history—one that shines not only for China but for the global community of thinkers and innovators. His legacy will live on forever.

Daniel and Kelly talk about recent mathematical innovations that suggest a third category of particles beyond matter and forces.

I had a great time on the @KnowmadsPodcast talking about paraparticles and touching on a lot more -- choosing paths in research, science communication, and even a little philosophy.

Thanks for having me @bhavaytyagi and @garellaprachi !

Theoretical physicists have proposed the existence of a new type of particle that doesn’t fit into the conventional classifications of fermions and bosons https://t.co/wiathlrQ15

[Kaden Hazzard @QuantumHazzard]

Physics texts tell us particles come in only 2 types - fermions or bosons. Our Nature paper today shows other, thought-to-be forbidden, particles are possible. Why you should care & addressing a concern I’m sure some experts have: “this must be wrong!” (warning: mammoth thread)

#Mathematical analysis suggests the potential existence of paraparticles, challenging the traditional boson-fermion classification in #QuantumMechanics, and opening new avenues in theoretical physics. @RiceUniversity @nature https://t.co/lZT8dMin7M https://t.co/7N6MdJRlcQ

[New Scientist @newscientist]

Physicists have long thought that there are only two types of fundamental particles, known as fermions and bosons, but now it seems another type of ‘impossible’ particle that doesn’t fit these groups could actually exist. https://t.co/FTMZ1uSTGG

[Rice Physics and Astronomy @RicePhysAstro]

Rice scientists theoretically demonstrate particles other than bosons and fermions. https://t.co/mUhpJDU42N

The total solar eclipse is really a so iconic moment that you feel how great and how tiny the human being is.

[Hao-Tian Wei @htwei17]

Watched Netflix's #3BodyProblem screening of 2 episodes tonight! It was dramatic and fun, and the storytelling is nice, though the science part of the show seriously needs more rigorous treatment. I'll definitely watch the rest!

Btw how bad the thunderstorm it was the train power is down in a huge area and cannot be restored after 24hr.

[Hao-Tian Wei @htwei17]

First time experienced bus replacing train. The sharp difference on carrying efficiency can be seen by how many bus needed to collect all passengers from a single train.
