One of my favourite tensor-network diagrams keeps on giving (from arxiv.org/abs/2511.04674 ):

Perfect Particle Transmission through Duality Defects arxiv.org/abs/2510.26780 : manifestations on the lattice of one of the most intriguing results in conformal field theory.

Philip Anderson, more than any other physicist, helped pivot theoretical physics away from reductionism toward emergence as a guiding principle. Yet almost no popular-science books explore this crucial shift—an exception is www.panmacmillan.com/authors/fran... . An excerpt:

From a friend of my bikig club: "Clearly, Martinis would have gotten nowhere without the help of Clarke"

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics, awarded for macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling, is a perfect example of emergent phenomena in action. It’s also one of the key reasons we wrote our book www.panmacmillan.com/authors/fran...
— because no other popular science book talks about this.

The book launch took place at the magnificent Royal Institution (@ri-science.bsky.social), the cradle of science popularization.

Happy to see our book "Why Nobody Understands Quantum Physics" published in English www.panmacmillan.com/authors/fran.... Unlike other popular science books, we explain quantum and its applications in the way working physicists use and understand them, without shying away from the many-body problem.
