    Skip to main content Main content starts here Dmytro Inosov /Dresden University of Technology First up on the podcast, freelance journalist Zack Savitsky joins host Sarah Crespi to talk about the strange metal state. Physicists are probing the behavior of electrons in these materials, which appear to behave like a thick soup rather than discrete charged particles. Many suspect insights into strange metals might lead to the creation of room-temperature superconductors, highly desired materials...

    On Tuesday, Microsoft physicist Chetan Nayak faced a formidable challenge: convincing an excited but largely skeptical standing-room audience of other scientists that his company had shaken the landscape of quantum computing. Nayak tried to make the case that his team had created the world’s first “topological” qubit, a potential robust quantum analog of the 0-or-1 bit that powers a conventional digital computer.

    Introduction Many discoveries in physics flow from theory to experiment. Albert Einstein theorized that mass bends the fabric of space-time, and then Arthur Eddington observed the effects of this bending during a solar eclipse. Likewise, Peter Higgs first proposed the existence of the Higgs boson; nearly 50 years later, the particle was discovered at the Large Hadron Collider. Hadronization is different.

    Introduction Life is an anthology of destruction. Everything you build eventually breaks. Everyone you love will die. Any sense of order or stability inevitably crumbles. The entire universe follows a dismal trek toward a dull state of ultimate turmoil. To keep track of this cosmic decay, physicists employ a concept called entropy.

    Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) can put young math prodigies to shame. Large language models (LLMs) such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT are now acing nearly every math test they encounter. And yet AI has hardly touched frontier research in math, an indication that its test-taking prowess does not reflect real mathematical skill.
