We reveal our Top 10 Breakthroughs in physics for 2020

10 Dec 2020 Hamish Johnston

This episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast features a lively chat about some of the best physics done this year as we unveil our Top 10 Breakthroughs of 2020. Our choices run the gamut from medical physics to particle astrophysics – and we even have two “Holy Grails” in the fields of superconductivity and semiconductor physics.

The Top 10 serves as the shortlist for the Physics World Breakthrough of the Year award, which will be announced on 17 December. Links to all the nominees, more about their research and the criteria for the awards can be found here.
