The week in physics: Physics and AI; Satellites measure earthquake effects

Navigation satellites capture far-reaching effects of two powerful earthquakes Forward this email View in your browser THE WEEK IN PHYSICS: 21–25 OCTOBER Physics, AI, and the future of discovery Leaders from industry, government, and academia discuss the potential impact of AI on physics—including neutrinos, exoplanets, term papers, outreach, and workforce gaps—and of physics on AI. France Córdova, Valerie Browning, Walter Copan, Evgeni Gousev, and Jesse Thaler Navigation satellites capture far-reaching effects of two powerful earthquakes A series of big earthquakes in 2023 triggered not only local deformation of Earth's crust but also large-scale movement of tectonic plates. Alex Lopatka FROM THE VAULT: June 1984 Native American astronomy Archaeoastronomers are documenting the work of the astronomers of pre‐Columbian America, drawing on such evidence as ancient written ephemerides and precise astronomical alignments of surviving architecture. Anthony F. Aveni Q&A: Engineer Stewart Isaacs seeks equitable climate change solutions Hard work, creativity, and problem-solving are key to Isaacs's success in both science and another passion: jump rope. Toni Feder Carbonate rocks may release more carbon dioxide as climate warms An analysis of 60 years of water chemistry data from Arctic and subarctic Canadian rivers finds that some regions exhibit a major increase of dissolved sulfates, a product of weathering reactions that also release CO2. Laura Fattaruso FROM THE OCTOBER MAGAZINE Self-removing salt crystals A newly discovered mechanism by which salt crystals leap off nanoengineered surfaces may lead to the development of industrial materials that resist the buildup of minerals from fresh and salt water.
