Like a virus Nat. Phys. (IF 17.6) Pub Date : 2025-02-13 Bart Verberck
The process started with the creation of a precursor organic molecule featuring a helical, figure-8-like geometry. Twelve of these molecules were combined into a supramolecular unit with the symmetry of a snub cube (a polyhedron consisting of 6 square and 32 triangular faces). Snub cubes come in pairs — a left-handed and a right-handed version — owing to an intrinsic twist in the polyhedron’s structure

Fractional football finish Nat. Phys. (IF 17.6) Pub Date : 2025-02-13 Stefanie Reichert
The National Football League tracks athletes’ movement and positioning in each game through radio frequency identification tags inserted in players’ shoulder pads and inside the football. By analysing the tracking data of the first nine weeks of the 2022 season — made available for the National Football League Big Data Bowl 2024 — Nguyen and colleagues aimed to provide a more accurate metric for tackles

Undefined futures Nat. Phys. (IF 17.6) Pub Date : 2025-02-13 Mark Buchanan
As Nicolas Rouleau and Michael Levin note in a recent essay in Nature Machine Intelligence (Nat. Mach. Intell. 6, 1424–1426; 2024), much of the discourse around AI is plagued by claims that reach beyond the evidence adduced to support them. And current debates typically overlook two major issues. First, we don’t really know what gives rise to intelligence or understanding, even in biological systems;

When noise becomes the signal Nat. Phys. (IF 17.6) Pub Date : 2025-02-13 Aaron Hui
Even a child intuitively understands the cold of winter or the heat of a hot summer day. However, when it comes to a scientific definition of temperature, things get murky quickly. As Aaron Hui explains, measuring electrical noise is one way to measure temperature directly.

Muddy the baseballs Nat. Phys. (IF 17.6) Pub Date : 2025-01-16 Stefanie Reichert
Little is known about rubbing mud: it is first strained and skimmed of excess water, then rinsed with — a surprising detail — tap water before being treated in some way and finally left to settle. Pradeep and colleagues applied mud to baseballs in a similar way to the protocol prescribed in Major League Baseball. By studying both clean and mudded baseballs with a host of techniques, including laser

This again hasn’t happened, despite companies like Tesla, Google, Apple and Cruise (owned by General Motors) investing tens of billions into research and development, and lots more into lobbying, advertising and public relations to convince the public that autonomous vehicles are inevitable. Less biased experts have made better predictions of how autonomous vehicles might develop. For example, transportation
