    In a time of great anxiety over U.S. government support for science, theoretical physicists have received some reassuring news. Larry Leinweber, a philanthropist who made his fortune in the software industry, is giving $90 million to establish endowed institutes in theoretical physics at three leading research universities and one private institution, the Leinweber Foundation announced today. The money will be used mainly to support postdocs and graduate students.

    Using a 200-ton, blimplike metal chamber that looks like something out of Fritz Lang’s classic sci-fi movie Metropolis, 149 physicists have tried to measure the mass of the neutrino, the lightest and most elusive of matter particles—and have found that it’s too small to be detected.

    ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA—With his little round glasses tucked into his helmet and a less than explosive stride, Mikhail Lukin could never be mistaken for a professional hockey player. A world-renowned physicist and expert in quantum computing at Harvard University, Lukin played hockey growing up in Russia and clearly knows what he’s doing. But, at 53, he doesn’t do anything on skates fast.

    Marco Prado has rarely missed a meeting of the International Society for Neurochemistry in 30 years. “I have deep ties to the society,” the Canada research chair and University of Western Ontario professor says. But after U.S. President Donald Trump began announcing tariffs on Canadian goods and repeatedly referring to the sovereign nation as the “51st state,” Prado says he scrapped his lab’s plans to attend the society’s next conference this August in New York City.

At least how it's usually done, adding more particles like the famous Higgs boson to the standard model of particle physics fails a bedrock logical consistency test called renormalizability. How about that? @NewsfromScience https://t.co/dhGjjv7SS2

Why did pioneers of artificial intelligence win this year's Nobel Prize in physics, you ask? Read on! This was a fun one to write. A real team effort. Personally, I like this prize. It was fun to see statistical physics have a moment. @NewsfromScience https://t.co/lfgi4AMo4S

Dysfunction and discord continue at the United States's last dedicated particle physics laboratory, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. Writing this story really pained me. I had a summer job a Fermilab a long time ago. @NewsfromScience https://t.co/2FcNOKwB2N
