"Physicist Paul Davies shares his insights on whether the universe can ever be fully knowable, how quantum mechanics reshapes our notion of reality, and why the convergence of quantum physics and AI may challenge everything we know about consciousness, life, and our place in the cosmos. Paul Davies is a Regents' Professor of Physics and Director of the Beyond Center for Fundamental Concepts in Science at Arizona State University. 

Paul Davies discusses quantum biology in an interview with Clarice Aiello, moderated by Pauline Davies.

ASU’s Beyond Center and the University of Glasgow seek 1–2 full-time researchers to advance Assembly Theory methods, build cheminformatics databases, and establish protocols/standards for origins-of-life research. Work jointly with Profs. Sara Walker (ASU) and Leroy Cronin (Glasgow), primarily in Tempe with periodic time in Glasgow. Responsibilities include software/pipeline development, data standards, theory for life detection, publications, and cross-lab coordination. Required: PhD in Chemistry/Physics/Computer Science (or related), strong programming, and research record.

We are pleased to announce that the 33rd Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics will take place from December 8–12, 2025, at Arizona State University (ASU), Tempe, USA.

The new book "Physician Wellness and Resilience: Narrative Prompts to Address Burnout", edited by Pauline Davies, Beyond Center affiliate faculty, from Arizona State University's Hugh Downs School of Human Communication and Dr. Cynthia M. Stonnington of the Mayo Clinic, explores the pressing issue of physician burnout and provides strategies to enhance mental well-being and resilience.

In a new book, physicist Sara Walker argues that assembly theory can explain what life is, and even help scientists create new forms of it.
