I write about physics, materials science and quantum technology for New Scientist.

 

My first book, Entangled States: A Life According to Physics will be published by Beacon Press in 2025.

Please direct any tips or pitches to k.padaviccallaghan@newscientist.com

 

My writing has previously appeared in WIRED, Slate, Scientific American, MIT Technology Review, Aeon, Quanta Magazine, New Scientist, Physics World and Massive Science.

 

Previously, I was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Science at Bard High School Early College Manhattan.

 

I also write a Substack newsletter called Ultracold which features monthly longform essays reflecting on my experience as a queer, non-binary, immigrant physicist and science writer living, learning and working in New York.
