The Nobel Committee has announced the 2026 Physics laureate. Francis Halzen won for the IceCube observatory and high-energy neutrino discoveries.

A new study reveals that the Solar System will disappear not in a quintillion years, but in just a billion due to chaotic mass ejections from the dying Sun.

Astronomers have discovered a microblazar IRAS 18293−0941 in the Milky Way for the first time, with its relativistic jet pointing straight at Earth, opening new ways to study cosmic rays.

Analysis of nearly 3,000 Type Ia supernovae suggests that dark energy may change over time, challenging the model of a constant cosmological constant and opening the way to new physics.

New computer simulations, published in IOP Science, showed that the Moon could have formed just five hours after the collision between Earth and Theia. The key factors turned out to be the temperature and material strength of the protoplanets.

Physicists at the University of Nevada explained that every second about 100 trillion neutrinos and hundreds of muons from space pass through the human body, yet the radiation risk from this stream is practically zero.

Chinese astrophysicists published a study in Physical Review Letters reporting a gamma-ray signal from 15.5 years of telescope data that matches the annihilation of WIMP particles. The scientific community calls for caution due to previous false positives.

🌌 Supermassive black holes — not just devourers, but cradles of planets! In 2026, scientists confirmed that accretion disks around AGN can give birth to millions of planetary-mass objects. The new "bottom-up" mechanism changes the theory of star formation. Verification will begin with the launch of LISA in the 2030s! 🚀 #astrophysics #blackholes #LISA #science2026

Astronomers have found that black holes are not as voracious as previously thought: they eject almost as much matter back into space as they absorb. Observations of the Swift J1727.8−1613 system showed that powerful winds and jets operate even after activity subsides. 🌌🔭

Astrophysicists have made a breakthrough in the study of the Sun: it turns out that its core contains 55% more silver than previously thought. 🌞🥈 A new 3D model of the star has finally solved the mystery of the discrepancy with the composition of ancient meteorites. This discovery changes our understanding of how heavy elements are formed in the Universe. 🚀🔭
