"Humans always look for meaning." Physicist Asimina Arvanitaki reflects on our tendency to search for symbolism— even in science. Sometimes, she argues, it's simply mathematics describing nature.

“The Universe is often more subtle than our intuition, that’s exactly why we have to keep testing these ideas.” Perimeter researcher Zachary Weiner is studying whether an additional 'dark force' between dark matter particles could explain cosmic mysteries. Details: scitechdaily.com/dark-matters...

"You have learnt to stay awake with a question with no answer and be completely comfortable with that, and that's a superpower." Hear from Perimeter Research Faculty Laurent Freidel and Research Chair Neil Turok on training the next generation of theoretical physicists.

EinsteinPlus 2026 drew high school teachers from 11 countries for inspirational training in bringing modern physics into classrooms around the world.

How can a language learning model be tricked? Adam Brown, leader of Blueshift and core contributor of Google Gemini, uses a twist on a classic riddle to "torture" a large language model. The model solves the original, but fails on a version it hasn't seen, highlighting how these AIs are trained.

Looking to take your physics education to the next level? Perimeter Scholars International (PSI) is an intensive one-year master’s program that equips future physicists to tackle some of the universe’s biggest questions - from quantum foundations to cosmology.

Perimeter Institute was pleased to welcome Industry Minister Mélanie Joly, Bardish Chagger, M.P., Karim Bardeesy, M.P. and Waterloo Mayor Dorothy McCabe, for a tour of the Institute today.

The power of curiosity was central to Perimeter Institute’s offerings at this year’s SNF Nostros Conference in Athens, Greece. Read more about the event and our talk on "Universal truths, human futures": perimeterinstitute.ca/news/curious...

Over the last half-decade, the capabilities of large language model AIs have leapt from babbling preschoolers to International Math Olympiad gold medalists, and now beyond.

We don't yet understand how gravity and quantum mechanics fit together, and they can sometimes appear to be incompatible. Unifying them is one of the holy grails of modern physics.

Sizheng Ma, a postdoctoral researcher at PI, and his colleagues have contributed new knowledge of black hole mergers and their aftermath, revealing that gravitational waves carry direct imprints of the remnant object’s event horizon and its properties.

Quantum systems are fragile. When a qubit interacts with a noisy environment, the information it carries can easily be lost, scrambled in such a way that retrieving the information is virtually impossible.
