Researchers built the largest Type Ia supernova dataset ever and found a hint that dark energy might evolve over time. If confirmed, it would be a dramatic departure from Einstein's cosmological constant. newscenter.lbl.gov/2025/07/2…

"The era of quantum gravity experiments is just starting," says @four_form. "It’s crucial we understand the implications of each measurement as we gather the evidence on whether gravity is quantized." Dan Carney & Nick Rodd @LBNLphysics @BerkeleyLab featured in @QuantaMagazine
A new proposal says that gravitational waves and quantum technology should make it possible to detect an event closely associated with a graviton, the quantum particle of gravity. Physicists are debating what a detection would mean. @walkingthedot reports: quantamagazine.org/it-might-…
