The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics to Francis Halzen “for decisive contributions to the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and the discovery of high-energy neutrinos of astrophysical origin.

Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used to discover new materials, but conventional data-driven approaches can struggle to explain their predictions, work reliably beyond their training data and remain consistent with physical laws.

This video examines whether modern physics has revived the 19th-century idea of the “aether” — the invisible medium once thought to carry light — and explains how contemporary theories changed our view of space and particles.

Researchers have shown that imposing hard constraints on the direction of input-output effects during neural network training guarantees physically consistent regression models even when no equations

There's a specific little quirk to how we often mimic sound, as we typically account for this rule, which is actually relevant to multiple scientific fields.
