A concise, insight-packed look at Quanta Magazine’s The Year in Physics (2024). We unpack big stories—from a possible weakening of dark energy and the WIMP sensitivity frontier to the new bullet cluster, JWST surprises, the Hubble tension, breakthroughs in supersolids and 2D superconductors, fault-tolerant neutral-atom quantum computing, precision thorium clocks, a geometric approach to particle interactions, the so-called negative time dwell-time measurements, and the AI Nobel connection—ending with the overarching themes shaping physics today.
