MPI for Gravitational PhysicsEnrico Fermi Fellowship for Laura Roberts – PhD student at @mpi_grav in Hanover, Germany, wins generous financial support for cross-training in theoretical and experimental physics.
Laura Roberts will receive €200,000 over two years through an Enrico Fermi Fellowship.
The fellowship is aimed at cross-training in theory and experiments. It will support Roberts’ work on preparing the first laboratory observation of vacuum magnetic birefringence – a 90-year-old theoretical prediction.
Measuring the predicted effect or placing stringent limits close to it would test new physics beyond the standard model, including dark matter.

« Cette horloge voit ce que personne ne peut détecter » : des chercheurs créent un outil nucléaire pour traquer la matière noire - Enviro2B
EN BREF 🌌 Les scientifiques utilisent une horloge nucléaire au thorium-229 pour détecter la matière noire. 🔬 Cette méthode innovante exploite la précision des oscillations des noyaux atomiques. 🧪 Le thorium-229 est choisi pour sa fréquence de résonance naturellement basse, manipulable par laser. 🚀 Une avancée qui promet de révolutionner notre compréhension de l’univers et

What Is Entropy? A Measure of Just How Little We Really Know. | Quanta Magazine
Exactly 200 years ago, a French engineer introduced an idea that would quantify the universe’s inexorable slide into decay. But entropy, as it’s currently understood, is less a fact about the world than a reflection of our growing ignorance. Embracing that truth is leading to a rethink of everything from rational decision-making to the limits of machines.
