Scientists have made a significant breakthrough in using artificial intelligence to estimate the fundamental properties of the universe, specifically the mass of galaxy clusters. Read more.

The Ukrainian Journal of Physics has managed to keep publishing during the past year, offering an outlet for physicists in the war-torn country.

The super-rich are also some of the most generous people

In an analysis of electronic health records for 18,355 live births during the COVID-19 pandemic, maternal SARS‐CoV‐2 positivity during pregnancy was associated with nearly two-fold higher odds of a neurodevelopmental diagnosis at 12 months of age among male children.

Astrophysicists at the Institute for Advanced Study, the Flatiron Institute and their colleagues have leveraged artificial intelligence to uncover a better way to estimate the mass of colossal clusters of galaxies. The AI discovered that by just adding a simple term to an existing equation, scientists can produce far better mass estimates than they previously had. The improved estimates will enable scientists to calculate the fundamental properties of the universe more accurately, the astrophysi...

"You can study the holes between the galaxies similarly to the way you would study the structure of materials,” says Princeton theoretical chemist Salvatore Torquato. His new paper with astrophysicist Oliver Philcox offers new tools for understanding complicated structures — from the atomic level to the Universe itself. 

In 1949 physicist Chien-Shiung Wu devised an experiment that documented evidence of entanglement. Her findings have been hidden in plain sight for more than 70 years
