David Gross, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, says the chances that humanity will still exist in 50 years are very low. His stark warning, published in an interview with Science et Vie, is being shared widely on social media, drawing attention to existential risks facing the planet.
- 2Nobel physicist David Gross says humanity may not survive 50 more years●David # Gross , lauréat du prix # Nobel de # physique : « Les chances que l’h # humanité vive encore 50 ans sont très fa
David Gross, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, has said the chances that humanity survives another 50 years are very low. The French science magazine Science et Vie published his warning, and it is circulating widely in French-speaking online discussions. Gross, honoured for work on quantum chromodynamics, did not detail the specific risks behind his stark assessment.
- 3Colloquium examines Syukuro Manabe's climate modeling legacy▼Colloquium : Manabe’s legacy of simulating and understanding global warming
A new colloquium from the American Physical Society reviews the scientific legacy of Syukuro Manabe, whose pioneering computer simulations laid the foundation for modern understanding of global warming. The review highlights how his early climate models established the link between rising carbon dioxide and planetary temperature, work that earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics and continues to shape climate research.

Researchers report generating quasicrystalline patterns in water waves, bringing the geometry famously seen in solid materials into fluid dynamics. Work on quasicrystals earned the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, and reproducing their aperiodic order in waves rather than atomic lattices is a striking demonstration. Physicists are discussing what the finding reveals about wave interference and whether similar ordered-but-non-repeating structures could emerge in other fluid systems.

Anniversaries are being marked for Enrico Fermi, born 125 years ago, the Italian-American physicist behind the world's first nuclear reactor and a key figure in developing quantum theory and nuclear physics. He won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1938 and lent his name to the famous Fermi paradox about alien life.
