Physicists 3D-Print a Christmas Tree From Pure Ice
Researchers have developed a novel 3D printing method that creates intricate ice structures using evaporative cooling in a vacuum chamber, eliminating the need for traditional refrigeration. The technique relies on a water jet nozzle depositing layers that instantly freeze under low pressure, a p...

MicroBooNE Finds No Evidence for Sterile Neutrinos
The MicroBooNE experiment found no evidence for sterile neutrinos, ruling them out as an explanation for prior anomalies and dealing a significant blow to the long-standing hypothesis. The sterile neutrino was originally proposed to explain puzzling experimental results, like unexpected neutrino ...

Nobel Prize Honors Pioneers of Quantum Computing
The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis for their foundational 1980s experiments that first demonstrated quantum tunneling in a physical circuit, moving the concept from theory to practical proof. Their discoveries laid the groundwork for mode...
