The president's budget proposal cuts billions in funding from @doescience, @nasa, @nist, and @nsf — but there is still time to change it. Tell your lawmakers why they should stand up for science using our letter-writing toolkit, targeted to your state: go.aps.org/3RP9EWF

“Investing in science is a sure bet.” APS member Dipangkar Dutta wrote a letter to the editor of @cdispatch, urging Mississippi lawmakers to support funding #CancerResearch like his. Read more: cdispatch.com/opinions/lette…

By simulating a population of stars similar to ones in the Milky Way’s S-cluster, a study in @PhysRevD shows how the energy generated when #DarkMatter particles and their antiparticles collide can make massive stars seem “immortal.” Read the study: go.aps.org/3IBGWHn

📢 Our Future of Science Fund protects research by powering a national grassroots campaign that lets Congress know #science is essential to our society. We’ve made it to 75% of our goal. Help us reach 100 donors with a gift of any size by July 31: go.aps.org/4e5m2vN

Data from @NASAJuno has revealed a new kind of #PlasmaWave in Jupiter’s magnetosphere. The Alfvén-Langmuir waves are unlike anything near Earth — and the authors say they might exist around other exoplanets. Read more in @PhysRevLett: go.aps.org/4lpgnng

Celebrate #IYQ2025 in style with this limited edition t-shirt. Grab yours before they’re gone and “keep quantum weird” all year long: go.aps.org/411K7OR @quantumyear2025

A new study in @PhysRevX supports the 2023 detection of the highest-energy neutrino ever seen — KM3-230213A — and shows how it fits with other searches for ultrahigh-energy and lower-energy neutrino events. Read more: go.aps.org/44NNI4l



52,000 years ago, a massive stellar breakup launched Melnick 34 out of its nebula. A new study in @PhysRevLett retraces this violent eviction with data from @ESAGaia. 💫💥 Read more: go.aps.org/455uNlN

“If we abandon our place as the global leader in the fight to end cancer, Americans will have to wait for cutting-edge cancer treatments.” In @penncapitalstar, APS member Andrew Mugler discusses the impacts proposed funding cuts would have on healthcare: penncapital-star.com/commentary/fun…

Stress can impact the way we communicate, and we know scientists are facing plenty of stress right now. Join us Aug. 21 for a webinar on reflective listening: a tool to reduce conflict, rebuild trust, and improve communication: go.aps.org/44IoLah

When winds are low, windsurfers will “pump” to generate momentum. Using a miniature sail in an experimental water channel, a study published in @PhysRevFluids shows how this maneuver affects the forces that help propel the board forward. Read more: go.aps.org/44x77X0

Science teachers, join us for the Aug. 2-3 PhysTEC workshop in Washington, D.C. to learn about effective education practices. Learn more and find discounts here: go.aps.org/4m3FCvu

Here are @PhysRevLett metrics (see journals.aps.org/prl/about) •PRL is large, so not buffeted by its highest-cited papers •A PRL is cited almost once a minute •PRL is 60x more influential than the average journal •PRL's Google h5 index is 50 more than the next physics journal
Our portfolio of peer-reviewed journals continues to rank among the top publications in physics, according to the 2024 Journal Citation Reports from @Clarivate. Click through for a look at our highlights from this year’s report. 🔗 go.aps.org/44uDyqk
To study individual molecules, #quantum control is key. A study in @PhysRevX shows how — with the help of a beryllium ion — researchers can exert quantum-level control of a molecular hydrogen ion, paving the way for high-precision experiments. 🔗 go.aps.org/46uOcyv

Mario Borunda (APS) and (NSHP); Dr. Stephen Roberson (NSBP); Dr. Beth Cunningham (AAPT) and Dr. Julie Davis (APS) advocating for physics and diversity on Capitol Hill. #diversityinphysics #physicseducation #diversityequityinclusion
The fight to protect federal science funding is not over. President Trump’s recently signed tax and spending — but it’s different from the FY26 budget, which decides funding for science agencies. Learn more about the path ahead and how you can help in APS News:…

Physics educators are testing #AI graders in the hopes of making scoring more transparent and freeing up time for real teaching. So what happens when AI handles the scores? And where do humans come in? Find out in APS News: go.aps.org/3GmlWUp

Think amorphous ice is fully disordered? Think again. New research finds hidden, ordered crystallites inside low-density amorphous ice, challenging 90 years of assumptions about water’s structure: go.aps.org/405ydDc
