Physics World March 2026
Volcanic impact: the geophysical consequences of climate change

Michael Allen speaks to the researchers connecting climate physics with Earth’s geophysical processes. Also this month, Mats Larsson and Ramon Wyss enter the Nobel archives to reveal how Chien-Shiung Wu never won a Nobel prize for verifying parity violation, while Honor Powrie looks at the pros and cons of patenting, and Benjamin Skuse examines the environmental impact of military activity.
