The president's budget proposal cuts billions in funding from @doescience, @nasa, @nist, and @nsf — but there is still time to change it. Tell your lawmakers why they should stand up for science using our letter-writing toolkit, targeted to your state:

New results from @NASA’s Parker Solar Probe could explain why protons in #SolarWind are hotter than electrons. The findings reveal that a barrier forms in the solar wind, blocking energy from shifting to smaller scales. Read more in @PhysRevX:

Classes. Research. Internships. Jobs. With so many competing priorities, how can physics students make sure they’re on the right track? Read how our career mentoring program helped undergraduate Taylor Eskew:

The LUX-ZEPLIN experiment just set the tightest limits yet on WIMPs — a leading #DarkMatter candidate. Next up: a 1,000-day hunt to probe deeper. Read more in @PhysRevLett: . @lzdarkmatter

What absorbs heat must emit it — or so we thought. 🤔 . Researchers have now used a magnetic field and a layered nanomaterial to break Kirchhoff’s law by 43%, opening doors to more efficient solar and thermal energy tech. Read their work in @PhysRevLett:

International students and researchers are facing deep uncertainty as U.S. policies disrupt their lives and careers. From arrests to visa revocations and processing delays, many are feeling both threatened and targeted. Read what CEO Jonathan Bagger has to say about these

In 1925, #QuantumTheory was in crisis — until 23-year-old Werner Heisenberg, battling hay fever on a remote island, reimagined the nature of reality. His breakthrough laid the groundwork for #QuantumMechanics. Read more in APS News:

In @PhysRevLett: Researchers have created a tabletop setup with a levitating magnet and quantum sensor to search for ultralight #DarkMatter particles. They haven’t found any yet, but are hopeful for future discoveries. 🔗

In @PhysRevFluids: A mystery dating back to the 1950s now solved. A pickled beet slice, dropped in its own liquid, creates a pale halo by lifting the juice’s surface and creating suction. Read more:

Raising awareness about the value of federal science funding is key to securing a strong future for our community. 📣. Take a look at the latest letters to the editor and op-eds from our members, sharing their perspectives on why science matters:.

In 2022, @NASA’s DART mission smashed into asteroid Dimorphos at 15,000 mph, shifting its orbit by 33 min — the first real test of deflecting a space threat. Learn more: . #InternationalAsteroidDay

We’re more than halfway to our goal of reaching 100 donors to protect federal #STEM funding. Your help will join a generous $25,000 pledge in supporting advocacy training and outreach. Give to the Future of Science Fund by July 31:

“Young scientists will be forced to abandon their education, leaving a gap in our talent pipeline.”. APS member Kara Hoffman says proposed budget cuts could devastate high-tech industries in Maryland. Read her letter to the editor in the @baltimorebanner:

Using modern tools, scientists have recreated deuterium-tritium fusion — an idea first introduced by Arthur Rhulig in the 1930s. The latest findings shed light on #fusion’s potential for clean energy. Read more in @PhysRevC:

Scientists took inspiration from the seagrass balls along Mediterranean beaches to find a possible path to sustainable textile creation. By placing short fibers in fluid and applying turbulence, they created new nylon masses. Read more in @PhysRevE:

From Mexico to Japan, Sergio Cantu’s journey in #physics spans continents — and #qubits. Now vice president of #quantum systems at @queracomputing, he’s also making a lasting impact on future scientists and inspiring the next generation. Learn more in APS News:

#ICYMI: A study in @PhysRevLett details a device that acts as a one-way mirror for speeding up or slowing down light — potentially leading to innovations in #MicrowaveCommunications and #NeuromorphicComputing. 🔗
