A photo captures Kelvin wave turbulence along an air-water vortex filament. A 40-centimeter-long vortex set against a black backdrop is disturbed from the top, creating a wavy shape and swirling filaments along which interacting Kelvin waves transport energy.

Diagram showing a spinning black hole (labeled with spin a* and mass MBH) surrounded by a superradiant "SR cloud," emitting concentric wave-like ripples outward in all directions. The black hole sits at position r₀BH from the Galactic Center (marked "GC" with a red X), with its orbital velocity vφBH shown as a blue arrow. A red arrow points from the black hole toward a sun-and-Earth icon labeled with angular velocity ωφ₀. A second blue arrow near the icon shows its velocity relative to the black hole (v₀BH = −vBH₀), illustrating the relative motion used to model the emitted signal.

Could #BlackHoles be sending a persistent signal from across the Milky Way? Scientists propose “scalar…

Photo by Tiffany | Appalachian Mountain Outdoors on September 20, 2026. May be an image of text that says 'We can use our voices to let Congress know we need federal funding in environmental science related fields. Use this letter created by the American Physical Society to let Congress know we need funding for scientific research! SCIENCE SCIENCENEEDS NEEDS YOUR YOURVOICE VOICE Ask Congress to Fund Research We need your help to tell Congress why research funding important. Use this pre-written letter to explain to your lawmakers how science is vital to America's future success. Will add link in bi bio and stories!'. 10 items, carousel

Mass-mass diagram showing constraints on the masses of two neutron stars in a binary system. Three colored regions derived from different relativistic measurements overlap in a small area, indicating that the measurements are consistent with general relativity. A gray region shows masses excluded by the system's mass function.

A lightweight pair of neutron stars has passed general relativity’s test. The system’s short…

Network diagram showing a chess position as a web of interactions. Black and white pieces are labeled with chess notation and connected by numerous colored lines representing attacks and defenses. The pieces are densely interconnected, with several major pieces and pawns clustered near the center and edges.

Humans and #AI may play the same game — but they handle tension differently. ♟️ Researchers studied how they…

Plot showing the conditions under which dark matter halos in the early universe can form black hole seeds via direct collapse, plotted as initial density perturbation versus wavenumber. A pale diagonal band, labeled 'NQPBHs,' marks the parameter space between primordial black holes (top) and standard direct-collapse black holes (bottom), bounded by contours for virial temperature and collapse redshift.

What came first: stars or black holes? A new study in @physrevlett proposes that some black hole seeds may…
