The Earth’s magnetic poles have reversed 540 times over the past 170 million years. Usually, these reversals are relatively speedy in geological terms, taking around 10,000 years to complete. Now, however, scientists in the US, France, and Japan have found evidence of much slower reversals deep in Earth’s geophysical past. Their findings could have important implications for our understanding of Earth’s climate and evolutionary history.

Scientists think the Earth’s magnetic field arises from a dynamo effect created by molten metal circulating inside the planet’s outer core. Its consequences include a bubble-like magnetosphere that shields us from the solar wind and cosmic radiation that would otherwise erode our atmosphere.

A researcher in Japan has proposed a new way to extract energy from ocean waves. The system couples a gyroscope to an electrical generator and could be fine-tuned to extract energy from a wide range of wave conditions. A prototype of the design is currently being built for testing in a wave tank. If successful, the system could be used to generate electricity on board ships.

Ocean waves contain vast amounts of energy, and humans have sought to harness it for centuries. Despite the development of myriad technologies and numerous trials, the widespread commercial conversion of wave energy remains an elusive goal. One important problem is that most generation schemes only work within a narrow range of wave conditions – and the ocean can be a very messy place.

The heads of university physics departments in the UK have published an open letter expressing their “deep concern” about funding changes announced late last year by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), the umbrella organization for the UK’s research councils.

Addressed to science minister Patrick Vallance, the letter says the cuts are causing “reputational risk” and calls for “strategic clarity and stability” to ensure that UK physics can thrive.

It has so far been signed by 58 people who represent 45 different universities, including Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Durham, Imperial College, Liverpool, Manchester, and Oxford.

Machine learning could help us use cosmic muons to peer inside large objects, such as nuclear reactors. Developed by researchers in China, the technique can identify target materials such as uranium even when they are coated with other materials.

The muon is a subatomic particle, essentially a heavier version of the electron. Huge numbers of cosmic muons are created in Earth’s atmosphere when cosmic rays collide with gas molecules. Thousands of cosmic muons per second rain down on every square metre of Earth’s surface, and these particles can penetrate tens to hundreds of metres through solid materials.

 

Ultrasound system solves the “unsticking problem” in biomedical research

05 Mar 2026 Hamish Johnston

“Surround sound for biological cells,” is how Luke Cox describes the ultrasound technology that Impulsonics has developed to solve the “unsticking problem” in biomedical science. Cox is co-founder and chief executive of UK-based Impulsonics, which spun out of the University of Bristol in 2023.

He is also my guest in this episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast. He explains why living cells grown in a petri dish tend to stick together, and why this can be a barrier to scientific research and the development of new medical treatments.

 

Metamaterial antennas enhance MR images of the eye and brain

MRI is one of the most important imaging tools employed in medical diagnostics. But for deep-lying tissues or complex anatomic features, MRI can struggle to create clear images in a reasonable scan time. A research team led by Thoralf Niendorf at the Max Delbrück Center in Germany is using metamaterials to develop a compact radio-frequency (RF) antenna that improves image quality and enables faster MRI scanning.

Imaging the subtle structures of the eye and orbit (the surrounding eye socket) is a particular challenge for MRI, due to the high spatial resolution and small fields-of-view required, which standard MRI systems struggle to achieve. These limitations are generally due to the antennas (or RF coils) used to transmit and receive RF signals. Increasing the sensitivity of these antennas will increase signal strength and improve the resolution of the resulting MR images.

India has unveiled plans to build two new optical-infrared telescopes and a dedicated solar telescope in the Himalayan desert region of Ladakh. The three new facilities, expected to cost INR 35bn (about £284m), were announced by the Indian finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman on 1 February.

First up is a 3.7 m optical-infrared telescope, which is expected to come online by 2030. It will be built near the existing 2 m Himalayan Chandra Telescope (HCT) at Hanle, at an altitude of about 4500 m above sea level. Astronomers use the HCT for a wide range of investigations, including stellar evolution, galaxy spectroscopy, exoplanet atmospheres, and time-domain studies of supernovae, variable stars, and active galactic nuclei.

 

Quantum scientists release ‘manifesto’ opposing the militarization of quantum research

More than 250 quantum scientists have signed a “manifesto” opposing the use of quantum research for military purposes. The statement – quantum scientists for disarmament – expresses a “deep concern” about the current geopolitical situation and “categorically rejects” the militarization of quantum research or its use in population control and surveillance. The signatories now call for an open debate about the ethical implications of quantum research.

While quantum science has the potential to improve many different areas – from sensors and medicine to computing – some are concerned about its applications for military purposes. They include quantum key distribution and cryptographic networks for communication, as well as quantum clocks and sensing for military navigation and positioning.

Quantum-entangled sensors placed more than a kilometre apart could enable interferometric measurements of optical light with single-photon sensitivity, experiments in the US suggest. While this proof-of-principle demonstration of a theoretical proposal first made in 2012 is not yet practically useful for astronomy, it marks a significant step forward in quantum sensing.

Radio telescopes are often linked together to provide more detailed images with better angular resolution than would otherwise be possible. The Event Horizon Telescope array, for example, performs very long baseline interferometry on signals from observatories on four continents to produce astrophysical images, such as the first picture of a black hole in 2019.

In 1942, physicists in Chicago, led by Enrico Fermi, famously produced the world’s first self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction. But it was to be another nine years before electricity was generated from fission for the first time. That landmark event occurred in 1951 when the Experimental Breeder Reactor-I in southern Idaho powered a string of four 200-watt light bulbs.

Our ability to harness nuclear power has been under constant development since then. In fact, according to the Nuclear Energy Association, a record 2667 terrawatt-hours of electricity was generated by nuclear reactors around the world in 2024 – up 2.5% on the year before. But what, I wonder, is the potential of nuclear-powered transport?

 

Scientists are failing to disclose their use of AI despite journal mandates, finds study

An analysis of more than 5.2 million papers in 5000 different journals has revealed a dramatic rise in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in academic writing across all scientific disciplines, especially physics.

However, the analysis has revealed a large gap between the number of researchers who use AI and those who admit to doing so, even though most scientific journals have policies requiring disclosure of AI use.

Conducted by data scientist Yi Bu from Peking University and colleagues, the analysis examines papers listed in the OpenAlex dataset and published between 2021 and 2025.

 

The future of particle physics: what can the past teach us?

In his opening remarks to the 4th International Symposium on the History of Particle Physics, Chris Llewellyn Smith – who was a director-general of CERN in the 1990s – suggested participants should speak about “what’s not written in the journals”, including “mistakes, dead-ends and problems with getting funding”. Doing so, he said, would “provide insight into the way science really progresses”.

The symposium was not your usual science conference. Held last November at CERN, it took place in the lab’s 400-seat main auditorium, which has hosted many historic announcements, including the discovery of the Higgs boson. Its brown-beige walls are covered with lively designs by the Finnish artist Ilona Rista, suggesting to me the aftermath of a collision of high-energy bar codes.

Humanity has had a complicated relationship with machines and technology for centuries. While we created these inventions to make our lives easier and have become heavily reliant upon them, we have often feared their impact on society.

In her debut book, The Body Digital: a Brief History of Humans and Machines from Cuckoo Clocks to ChatGPT, Vanessa Chang tells the story of this symbiotic partnership, covering tools as diverse as the self-playing piano and generative AI products. The short book combines creative storytelling, an inward look at our bodies and interpersonal relationships, and a detailed history of invention. Chang, the director of programmes at Leonardo, the International Society for the Arts, Sciences, and Technology in California, offers us a framework for examining future worlds through the relationship between humanity and machines.

CERN upgrade to LHCb experiment threatened by UK funding cuts

09 Feb 2026 Michael Banks

A major upgrade to the LHCb experiment at CERN is under threat after the UK did not commit any further contributions towards the project. The decision by the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) to defund the plan means that, unless the decision is overturned, the experiment will now likely finish operation in 2033.

LHCb is one of the four large experiments based at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. It specializes in measuring the parameters of charge-parity (CP) violation in the interactions of b- and c-hadrons, studies that help explain the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe.
