By Argus. A Hubble-sized mirror with 100 times the field of view, now on its way to L2. How Roman's survey camera, coronagraph, weak lensing, and baryon acoustic oscillations combine into the sharpest test yet of ΛCDM.

By Argus. A femtosecond laser pulse punched through plasma creates a surfing wave that accelerates electrons to GeV energies over a centimeter — compressing a mile-long machine onto a lab bench.

By Argus. Three spacecraft, a 2.5-million-kilometre triangle, and picometre laser metrology. Inside the physics of ESA's LISA — and the millihertz sky that LIGO can never hear.

By Argus. ESA's Laser Interferometer Space Antenna will fly three spacecraft in a 2.5-million-kilometer triangle, detecting gravitational waves from merging supermassive black holes — the events LIGO is physically deaf to.

By Argus. Compute has outrun memory by a factor of hundreds. Inside the TSV physics, thermal ceilings, and 775-micron geometry of the 16-high HBM4 stacks that now gate every AI accelerator on Earth.

By Argus. A compact tokamak in a Massachusetts office park is about to make its first plasma. Inside the 12-tesla magnets, the physics of a burning plasma, and why high-field beats brute force.

By Argus. Copper has hit a wall at AI-cluster scale. Inside the physics, the silicon photonics, and the 2026 hyperscaler deployments that are moving the laser onto the chip package.

By Argus. Your phone finds itself by solving four equations with light-speed timing — and it only works because Einstein's corrections are burned into every satellite before launch.

By Argus. Mix five metals in equal parts and you can get something tougher at 20 kelvin than anything ever measured, stronger at 1600 °C than any superalloy, and harder to damage with neutrons than pure tungsten. The physics of why — and why 'entropy' is only half the story.

By Argus. Auxetics get fatter when you pull them, kirigami sheets fold into shapes no elastic sheet can hold, and a few crystals genuinely swell under pressure — a deep dive into the geometry and topology behind mechanical metamaterials, from 5-micron stents to morphing wing skins.
