2025 IgNobel Prize in PhysicsA group of Italian physicists studied the "Phase behaviour of Cacio e Pepe sauce". They were awarded the satirical prize "for discoveries about the physics of pasta sauce, especially the phase transition that can lead to clumping, which can be a cause of unpleasantness." |
EuChemS AwardsThe call for nominations is now open for the EuChemS Awards. The deadline is 15th December 2025. EuChemS, the European Chemical Society, is an umbrella organisation representing national chemical societies and a Collaborating Society of the EPS. |
