Kumahlab and Duke Physics graduate student Jordan Shield's News and Views article is out in Nature Physics. The article reviews new work utilizing the orientation of crystalline substrates to modify the electronic properties of ultra-thin films nature.com/articles/s4156…

"By stacking together images of a piece of sky taken over multiple nights, the telescope will be able to spot fainter and fainter objects" - yup, and I am thrilled to be leading that effort!

We mourn the passing of our colleague Tom Mehen, a long-serving Duke University faculty and passionate teacher known for his research on quantum chromodynamics and the application of effective field theory to problems in hadronic physics. In remembrance: bit.ly/41Xxy8L

👋 Say hi to our new lead editor. Patrick Charbonneau is a professor at @dukechemistry and @dukephysics. His research in soft matter and statistical physics combines theory and simulation to understand the glass problem and microphase formation. He’s also an @apsphysics Fellow.

The Universe is expanding—fast. Maybe too fast. A new measurement from Dan Scolnic's team confirms past, hotly debated results: the Universe’s expansion rate doesn’t match our predictions. Could this escalate the Hubble tension into a full-blown crisis? physics.duke.edu/news/dan-scoln…

Join us for the colloquium next Monday from 4-5pm in Riddick 325!! Dr. Daniel Scolnic (Dan Scolnic) from Duke University (Duke Physics) will discuss "The Lingering Hubble Tension and New Puzzling Measurements of Dark Energy"! | More info: physics.sciences.ncsu.edu/event/physics-…
