  • Physicists on Their Own When Learning to Write

    Author(s): Matteo Rini A survey finds that physicists and astronomers often learn to write through improvisation and mentor feedback rather than robust formal training. [Physics 18, 186] Published Thu Nov 20, 2025

  • Getting a Charge from a Laser Beam

    Author(s): David Ehrenstein The laser that levitates a microscale particle can also charge it up, providing a useful tool for lab-based experiments for atmospheric science. [Physics 18, s152] Published Thu Nov 20, 2025

  • Microscale Engine Runs at Solar-Core Temperatures

    Author(s): Thalyta Tavares Martins and Loïc Rondin A levitated bead is driven to behave like a heat engine, revealing strong fluctuations that seemingly defy thermodynamic principles. [Physics 18, 183] Published Wed Nov 19, 2025

  • Six Electrons Tunnel as One

    Author(s): Ryan Wilkinson Simultaneous tunneling of three electron pairs may occur in some superconducting devices. [Physics 18, s143] Published Wed Nov 19, 2025

  • IYQ Quantum Pitch Competition—Celebrating the International Year of Quantum

    Physics Magazine and Physics World are launching a special Quantum Pitch Competition for attendees of the 2025 World Conference of Science Journalists in Pretoria, South Africa. [Physics 18, 185] Published Tue Nov 18, 2025

  • Seeing a Molecule’s Quantum Shadow

    Author(s): Ryan Wilkinson An optical technique reveals the spatial extent of a molecule’s wave function when the molecule is embedded in a tiny helium droplet. [Physics 18, s149] Published Tue Nov 18, 2025

  • A Reliable Meter for Quantum Magic

    Author(s): Xhek Turkeshi Quantifying so-called quantum magic is essential for realizing a universal quantum computer. A proposed “magic meter” could achieve such a goal. [Physics 18, 181] Published Mon Nov 17, 2025
