President Joe Biden’s administration has announced that, by the end of 2025, federal agencies must make papers that describe taxpayer-funded work freely available to the public as soon as the final peer-reviewed manuscript is published.
It's never too late to chase your dreams. Just ask Manfred Steiner, who at 89-years-old has finally earned a long sought-after Ph.D. in physics from Brown University.
"It's my third doctorate, but this one I really cherish a lot," he says.
Researchers invited scientists to describe their experiences with academic bullying. The vast majority—71%—of respondents who experienced bullying did not report the behavior to their institution, mostly for fear of retaliation.

This paper is a sleeping beauty.
Richard Feynman sometimes used to practice for five hours in an empty classroom before delivering his lecture. It's true that when passion and hard work combine, it's a masterpiece.
After decades of effort, a mathematical strategy called proof by contradiction has helped mathematicians prove mathematical characteristics of black holes that are central to Einstein’s theory of general relativity.
Physicists at Fermilab report today in

As a grad student, Hugo Duminil-Copin studied under Stanislav Smirnov, who won the Fields Medal for proving conformal invariance in two physical models. Duminil-Copin has now come closer than ever to proving that the phenomenon is universal.
Which freezes faster: hot water or cold water? The simple question has stumped physicists, but recent experiments show how some types of hot substances could beat cold ones.
