Mission

Launched in March 2004 by two Ph.D. students seeking to fill a void in hard science news for informed readers, Phys.org quickly carved out a unique niche in physics, nanotechnology, and engineering reporting. Over the years it has grown into a comprehensive sci-tech news portal covering all major research disciplines, attracting millions of scientists, researchers, and engineers every month.

Phys.org publishes quality articles daily, offering some of the most comprehensive coverage of sci-tech developments worldwide. All news stories are hand-processed and curated by qualified editors, ensuring high-quality, targeted reporting free from the problems of feed or bot aggregation.

Phys.org's mission is to provide the most complete and comprehensive daily coverage of the full sweep of science news. With a highly educated and sophisticated readership, Phys.org stories go beyond mere catchy jargon — uncovering the who, what, where, how, and why of every story to deliver a daily dose of meaningful science news to scientists, researchers, engineers, academics, tech enthusiasts, and lifelong learners alike.

Phys.org covers the full spectrum of science disciplines, including:

  • Physics and nanotechnology
  • Space and astronomy
  • Biology and life sciences
  • Chemistry and materials science
  • Mathematics
  • Earth and environmental sciences

Update
As super El Nino strengthens, study suggests that climate change is intensifying El Ninos

A new study suggests that El Ninos—the natural climatic chaos agent that pops up periodically and spikes global temperatures—are getting stronger because of human-caused climate change.

Research briefs
Weak sea-surface temperature gradients may fuel stronger tropical cyclones

A study finds that weak sea-surface temperature gradients reduce ocean cooling beneath tropical cyclones, allowing storms to intensify. Researchers say incorporating these small-scale ocean features into forecasting models could improve cyclone warnings.

Research briefs
UK and Ireland face greatest risk from rare tropical cyclones reaching Europe

The new results suggest that, particularly for the UK and Ireland, storms with unusual origins may deserve a place in assessments of future wind and rainfall risk—even if they remain far less common than the storms Europe experiences every winter.

Research briefs
India faces rising uncompensable heat stress, especially during monsoon season

In a new paper in AGU Advances, researchers characterize the extent of India's "uncompensable heat stress" and project how the problem could worsen in the future.

Voluntary Commitments

The organization has no registered commitments.

The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
