Levitated Micromagnets in Superconducting Traps: A New Platform for Tabletop Fundamental Physics Experiments [PDF]
Entropy, 2022 Magnetically levitated microparticles have been proposed as mechanical sensors with extreme sensitivity. In particular, micromagnets levitated above a superconductor can achieve very low levels of dissipation and thermal noise.

Astronomical reach of fundamental physics. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2014 Using basic physical arguments, we derive by dimensional and physical analysis the characteristic masses and sizes of important objects in the universe in terms of just a few fundamental constants. This exercise illustrates the unifying power of physics and the profound connections between the small and the large in the cosmos we inhabit.

Optical Polarimetry for Fundamental Physics
Universe, 2021 Sensitive magneto-optical polarimetry was proposed by E. Iacopini and E. Zavattini in 1979 to detect vacuum electrodynamic non-linearity, in particular Vacuum Magnetic Birefringence (VMB).

STELLA—Potential European contributions to a NASA-led interstellar probe
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 The discovery of a myriad of exoplanets in the past decades has revolutionized the understanding of our place in the Universe. How different are exoplants and do some of them harbor life, just like Earth? To do so, their parent stars must drive a stellar

GRBs and Fundamental Physics [PDF]
Space Science Reviews, 2016 Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are short and intense flashes at the cosmological distances, which are the most luminous explosions in the Universe. The high luminosities of GRBs make them detectable out to the edge of the visible universe. So, they are unique tools to probe the properties of high-redshift universe: including the cosmic expansion and dark ...
