What if the early universe wasn’t cold? A new model couples gluons with axion-like particles thought to drive inflation, hitting at a “warm inflation” scenario that may soon be testable. Read more: https://t.co/VVcckWkJ5j

Using data from the 2022 world championships in track cycling, scientists modeled the interplay between riders, their machines, and the track, capturing velocity gains and losses in straight parts and turns on the track. Read more in @PhysRevE: https://t.co/roSG0qYAac

A new study proposes a light-based method to emit gravitons using a modified interferometer, resulting in energy and frequency differences that could produce a measurable signal indicative of graviton emission. Learn more in @PhysRevLett: https://t.co/coDHsGqO9P

New research suggests that dark matter’s distribution in the Milky Way’s center is organized like stars – advancing dark matter’s status as a potential source for excess gamma rays in the Milky Way’s core. Read the study in @PhysRevLett: https://t.co/VB7WgPZQN5

In the early universe, particles may have formed halos that collapsed into primordial black holes. New research in @PhysRevD shows how matter domination could have enabled self-interacting particle systems to develop these gravothermalized halos. 🔗 https://t.co/em3C9if7DH
