As part of a major new initiative at UCL, we will be recruiting postdocs and PhD students (for Oct 2026) and appointing at least three new academics over the next four years. Join us! Details below.

Dani Loader, Tobias Osborne and I wrote up some of our LLM workflows: How to train your slop cannon: a short guide to using large language models for research in the natural sciences.

A covariant path-integral formulation of the Postquantum theory of classical gravity (PQG) has just been published in Physical Review X, and a few other related papers have come at the same time.

A seminar by Tobias Osborne on orchestrating a swarm of coding agents to work on physics problems

“Good luck to future me.”

On December 10, I gave a keynote address at the Q2B 2025 Conference in Silicon Valley. This is a transcript of my remarks. The slides I presented are here. The first century We are nearing the end …

AI research in question as author claims to have written over 100 papers on AI that one expert calls a ‘disaster’

(and it's exciting)

One of the obstacles to reconciling quantum theory with general relativity, is constructing a theory which is both consistent with observation, and and gives finite answers at high energy, so that the...

In Nature, 646, 813 (2025), Aziz and Howl claim that classical (unquantised) gravity produces entanglement. We show that their model does not produce entanglement. Even if the model produced entanglem...

The measurement problem is the issue of explaining how the objective classical world emerges from a quantum one. Here we take a different approach. We assume that there is an objective classical syste...

The neutral-atom platform shows promise for scaling up quantum computers.

A key open problem in physics is the correct way to combine gravity (described by general relativity) with everything else (described by quantum mechanics). This problem suggests that general relativi...

Physicists are developing laboratory tests to give insight into the true nature of gravity.

The Palestinian Advanced Physics School 2025 (PAPS) will be held in-person at the University of Jordan between 26th — 31st July 2025. Additional students will join remotely from Gaza. The school is ai...

Astronomers have been amassing evidence for “dark matter” in space –  far more mass than can be seen directly. Yet, despite intensive efforts, there is no

Grok doubted 6 million death toll, days after peddling conspiracy theory of ‘white genocide’ in South Africa

For the first time, the growth in China’s clean power generation has caused the nation’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to fall despite rapid power demand growth.

AI mathematicians will one day be impressive, but for now, they're confidently wrong, dopamine-addicted, and desperate for likes.
