“Even a system as unconventional and complex as soccer can be modeled using physics.”

Just in time for the , statistical physics and network science can help explain the sport. From passing networks and possession dynamics to defensive clustering and preferential selection models, researchers are revealing how complex collective behavior emerges on the pitch.

What if scientists could know years in advance when two dead stars are about to collide?

New theoretical research suggests that merging white dwarfs emit distinctive gravitational wave signals for years before their final collision. Future space-based detectors could potentially identify these signals early, giving astronomers time to point telescopes at the sky and observe the merger as it unfolds.

Forty-six years ago this month, Vera Rubin and Kent Ford published evidence that would reshape cosmology: stars in 21 spiral galaxies weren’t slowing down at their edges as expected, implying most of the universe’s mass is invisible.

Today, the Rubin Observatory continues that legacy, surveying the night sky to map cosmic structure at unprecedented scale.

What happens when a material can’t “decide” how to align magnetically?

That phenomenon — known as frustration — can unlock unique quantum phases. A new theoretical study in APS Open Science charts the phase diagram of a frustrated magnetic system called a Shastry-Sutherland lattice and identifies real materials that could host magnetic properties waiting to be discovered.

Could a detector smaller than a carry-on suitcase help prevent the covert production of nuclear weapons materials?

Researchers have shown that existing antineutrino detectors could potentially identify the illicit production of weapons-grade plutonium inside a fusion power plant. Because antineutrinos are an unavoidable byproduct of fission reactions, they could provide a unique way to monitor reactors for hidden weapons activity.
