I am an online editor of Physics World. I did a PhD in condensed-matter physics at McMaster University in Canada. I am still fascinated by what is an extremely rich and varied subject that I believe is ignored by the media (Physics World excepted, of course). As a result, I’m happiest when I’m blogging about topological insulators, the latest quasiparticle or some other quirk of condensed matter. So, if you spot something weird and wonderful in solid-state physics, please get in touch. In my spare time I am a Scout leader.

Crab Nebula no longer the constant source of X-rays it was supposed to be
Early results focus on astrophysics
Fiery world unlikely to harbour life
Let's hope Mather and colleagues can keep costs under control
Astronomers suspect supermassive black holes can form before the galaxies in which they are contained
