Alien Jets Or Comet Physics? Avi Loeb Flags 3I/ATLAS Anomaly

Alien Jets Or Comet Physics? Avi Loeb Flags 3I/ATLAS Anomaly

The cosmos has delivered an enigma that has shaken parts of the scientific community and reignited age-old questions about life beyond Earth. Interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, the third confirmed visitor from outside our Solar System, is defying standard comet behaviour in ways that have prompted Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb to raise possibilities that extend beyond traditional…

Avi Loeb: 3I/ATLAS Jet Defies Physics

Avi Loeb: 3I/ATLAS Jet Defies Physics

Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb has observed a perplexing anomaly in the behaviour of 3I/ATLAS, the third interstellar object spotted in our solar system since 1I/’Oumuamua in 2017 and 2I/Borisov in 2019. Unlike typical comets, which develop tails pointing away from the Sun due to solar radiation and wind, 3I/ATLAS has maintained a narrow jet pointing…

2025 Nobel Prize in Physics: John Clarke, Michel Devoret, John Martinis Discover ‘Quantum Weirdness’ Exists in Real Life

2025 Nobel Prize in Physics: John Clarke, Michel Devoret, John Martinis Discover ‘Quantum Weirdness’ Exists in Real Life

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to three pioneering scientists who achieved a feat once thought impossible: making the ‘bizarre phenomena of quantum physics’ observable on a macroscopic scale. For years, the mind-bending laws of quantum mechanics—the same laws that govern tiny atoms—were believed to break down when applied to the everyday…

Revolutionizing Molecular Design with AI and Physics

Revolutionizing Molecular Design with AI and Physics

For pharmaceutical companies, countless rounds of experiments have to be conducted over years before bringing new medications to the market. Measuring the effectiveness of chemical molecules is central in those experiments. Accelerating the evaluation of the interaction between drug molecules and disease molecules has therefore always been a priority for medicinal chemists. “Artificial intelligence can…
