Now on @sciam: The “shepherds” have spoken. Physicists tasked with validating and releasing OpenAI’s latest major AI-generated math proof on Yang-Mills theory have declared it to be genuine. But even they still don’t fully understand the result.

Many assume a physics degree leads only to academia. Nicole Everage's SPS internship "opened my eyes to a lot of other different paths I could possibly take."
Help students see where physics can lead.

"PhySIcS haS stTAgNated for 50 yEars!" — said people who missed CERN finally catching a beauty-quark-to-two-muons decay that happens once in ten billion tries.
42-year hunt complete. Standard Model still undefeated (for now).
The precision era is very much alive; cope accordingly.
