Testing Einstein’s E=mc2 in outer space
According to the Theory of General Relativity, objects curve the space around them. UA physicist Andrei Lebed has proposed an experiment using a space probe carrying hydrogen atoms to test his finding that the equation E=mc2 may sometimes be broken due to non-zero space curvature, where m is a gravitational mass (Illustration NASA)

Anderson localization in random lasers
Understanding the fate of wave coherent effect in nonlinear systems is a major problem in theoretical physics. In a recent article in Nature Photonics, Philippe Jacquod, at the University of Arizona, and Peter Stano, of the University of Basel, have found that in a class of strongly nonlinear optical devices called random lasers, Anderson localization - an interference effect - is completely immune to nonlinearities.
