2D materials offer intriguing opportunities for flexible, wearable electronic devices but powering them can be challenging. A study in Nature demonstrates that 2D materials-based electronic devices can be powered using Wi-Fi radiation. https://t.co/vUoYItUwp7

Neutrinos are lightweight particles that rarely interact with matter. That makes them difficult to study, but they’re also the particles that could answer longstanding questions about the creation of the cosmos, so they’re worth the pursuit.

[CMS Experiment CERN @CMSExperiment]

A successful four years of CMS detector operation came to an end last week and we are now beginning a new chapter. The coming two-years of Long Shutdown (LS2) will allow for major upgrades of CMS, some of them already preparing the detector for #HiLumiLHC.

What do you give a physicist who helped discover a fundamental particle and jump-started your science career? https://t.co/tPSJ4o0faE

[Quanta Magazine @QuantaMagazine]

A new quantum paradox forces physicists to drop one of three seemingly reasonable assumptions. Does this hint that something entirely new awaits us in our search for a descriptor of reality?
