The president's budget proposal cuts billions in funding from the DOE Office of Science, NIST, NASA, and the NSF — but there’s 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

A shoe-box sized system on the @space_station could break ground in #quantum communications, overcoming the limitations of fiber optics.

The SEAQUE experiment’s first results were unveiled at #APSSummit25. Read more in APS News: go.aps.org/4ix3K7w

New in Physical Review A: Researchers take the Rubik's cube to the next level, introducing #superposition where tiles can occupy multiple positions simultaneously. They found combining classical and #quantum moves equals faster puzzle-solving.

14,000 physicists joined us #APSSummit25 last month — but what if they’d chosen a different path? Tell us what you’d do if you weren’t a physicist 👇

A new study in Physical Review Fluids suggests extra padding in headgear could reduce #brain damage caused by rotational impact injuries. Researchers tested this type of impact by modeling the brain as a hydrogel sphere inside liquid mimicking cerebrospinal fluid.
