It's nice when we can take something irritating (your umbrella flipping inside out in the wind) and turn it into something useful! I learned about some cool implications when I talked to Matteo Pezzulla for Physics. #coolphysics physics.aps.org/articles/v18...
You've heard of large language models, but what happens when, instead of words, AI is trained on scientific data? In my article for the @simonsfoundation.org, members of the @polymathicai.bsky.social use data in various fields of physics to drive discovery. www.simonsfoundation.org/2025/12/09/t...
Fly to Cha 1107-7626, a rogue planet 620 light-years away.
As observed by our VLT, every second it's eating up six billion tonnes of gas & dust from its surroundings — the strongest growth rate ever recorded for a planet of any kind. https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso2516/

The Rubin Observatory will do something never done in human history- make a time-lapse video of our Universe. I talked to scientists involved in the project and in the LINCC Frameworks to process all that data - and wow, I'm blown away. Can't wait to see what they discover. nautil.us/creating-a-c...
This is a long shot, but...
I'm an astronomer, and I have a great picture book series about space, and I'm searching for an agent. I see that you are not interested in text-only picture books, but if that changes, let me know!
In Physics Magazine, I talk about the surprising new science discovered when this team accidentally created an aurora in their lab!
