    Nobel predictions, national firsts and the remarkable story of CV Raman – Physics World (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Next Tuesday the winner(s) of the Nobel Prize in Physics will be announced. To celebrate that most famous of prizes this episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast looks at a few fun aspects of past awards. I’m joined by my Physics World colleague Matin Durrani to make a few predictions for next week. We also talk about our latest Nobel infographic – which looks at the time it took for countries to claim their first Nobel laureate. Then I am joined by the Indian engineer Preetish Kakoty to talk

    How long did it take for countries to claim a Nobel laureate? – Physics World (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Hamish Johnston presents data showing how long different nations have had to wait before winning a Nobel Prize in Physics How long did it take for your country to claim a physics Nobel laureate? Or perhaps you live in one of the 170 or so countries that has yet to produce a Nobel prize winner? The aim of our latest infographic (see figure) is to answer that question by exploring the geographical evolution of laureates. Creating it, however, quickly became an exercise in the history of the past t

    Is this the year for a Nobel prize in condensed matter, or maybe particle physics? – Physics World (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Here at Physics World we have had some luck with predicting who is going to win a Nobel Prize in Physics. One successful strategy is to identify top physicists and just keep predicting that they will win – and eventually they do! For example, we picked Anton Zeilinger for the 2009, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2019 prizes – and he won in 2022. Clearly, it was a mistake to give up on him in 2020. In making our predictions we sometimes rely on an infographic that we have been updating for a decade or so.

    Doubts cast on ‘superradiant neutrino laser’ proposal – Physics World (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Could radioactive atoms in a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) form a “superradiant neutrino laser”? According to a paper published last year by Benjamin Jones and Joseph Formaggio of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology the answer is “yes”. We were intrigued by this proposal and commissioned the freelance physics writer Tim Wogan to write an article for us. As part of his reporting, Wogan sought the opinion of a BEC expert – James Thompson of NIST, JILA and the University of Colorado in Bould

    Porous material offers the benefits of graphene in 3D – Physics World (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    My guest in this episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast is Marco Caffio, who is co-founder of iGii. The UK-based company has developed a porous 3D carbon nanomaterial called Gii, which it manufactures for a range of customers and applications. Caffio describes Gii as a 3D version of graphene that delivers many of the useful electronic, structural and chemical properties of that 2D wonder material. Unlike graphene, which can be difficult to manufacture and integrate into devices, Caffio expl
