No new data centers without enough clean power to run them. Call it the artificial-intelligence crime wave. AI agents are breaking through safeguards, sneaking into outside systems and hiding from monitoring. This has led AI executives including Dario Amodei, Sam Altman and Elon Musk to call for slowing the development of these systems. Read more here : Let Physics Regulate the AI Industry - WSJ Opinion

Frank is hard at work on a new book with the working title Futures: From Science to Purpose Through Imagination. Its central concept is that by telling us what is, science empowers us to imagine what could be, and thus to think intelligently about what should be, and to make it happen. This defines the Threefold Way. Futures is expected to appear in 2027. It will be published by Penguin Press in the U.S. and by several other outlets internationally.

Frank Wilczek and collaborators report the first experimental evidence that vacuum fluctuations can enhance superconductivity. The team observed an increase in critical temperature when the layered superconductor NbSe2 was embedded in a split-ring cavity resonator, with the critical current and critical field also rising sharply near the transition. The work, published in Nature, offers a noninvasive way to control superconductivity using engineered vacuum fields rather than heat or applied...
