- 1Colloquium examines Syukuro Manabe's climate modeling legacy▼Colloquium : Manabe’s legacy of simulating and understanding global warming
A new colloquium from the American Physical Society reviews the scientific legacy of Syukuro Manabe, whose pioneering computer simulations laid the foundation for modern understanding of global warming. The review highlights how his early climate models established the link between rising carbon dioxide and planetary temperature, work that earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics and continues to shape climate research.
- 2Reinforcement learning speeds up trapped-ion quantum computing▼Machine learning optimizes trapped-ion quantum computing – Reinforcement learning beats state-of-the-art techniques for
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics report that reinforcement learning outperforms state-of-the-art techniques for shuttling ions in trapped-ion quantum computers. The machine-learning approach optimizes how ions are moved within the device, a key bottleneck for scaling quantum hardware, and the work has been published in Physical Review Research.
- 3Systematic review examines AI in university physics teaching▼Artificial intelligence in university physics education: a systematic review of empirical studies
A systematic review of empirical studies on artificial intelligence in university physics education has been published, pulling together research on how AI tools are being used and what effects they have on teaching and learning at university level. The review consolidates existing findings rather than presenting new experiments, offering educators a broad picture of the state of AI in physics instruction.
- 4LSU professor's physics research published in academic journal●LSU professor’s physics research that supports new theories is published by an academic journal
A Louisiana State University professor has had physics research supporting new theories published in an academic journal. Details of the findings, the journal involved and the specific theories backed by the work have not been released beyond the university's announcement. The publication marks peer recognition of the professor's work in the field of physics.
- 5Study Links Maternal Fitness to Hormones in Breast Milk▼Maternal cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with metabolic hormone concentrations in human milk
Researchers report that mothers with higher cardiorespiratory fitness show different concentrations of metabolic hormones in their breast milk. The findings, published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, suggest a mother's physical fitness may influence the hormonal composition of the milk she produces, with possible implications for infant metabolism and health.
- 6IBS Director Han Woong Yeom Named Senior Editor at Physical Review Letters▼IBS Director Han Woong Yeom Joins Physical Review Letters as Senior Editor
Han Woong Yeom, director at South Korea's Institute for Basic Science, has been appointed a senior editor of Physical Review Letters, the leading journal of the American Physical Society. The appointment places a Korean physicist in a key editorial gatekeeping role for one of physics' most prestigious publications, and is being reported in South Korean science media as recognition of his standing in the international physics community.
- 7Thorne cites consumer research backing creatine plus Alpha-GPC blend▼THORNE SETS A HIGHER STANDARD FOR SCIENCE-BACKED WELLNESS WITH NEW CREATINE + ALPHA-GPC CONSUMER RESEARCH SUPPORTING MENTAL AND PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE
Supplement company Thorne announced new consumer research on a creatine plus Alpha-GPC formulation, which it says supports both mental and physical performance. The company framed the findings as raising the standard for science-backed wellness products. Details of the study design and peer review were not provided in the announcement.
