On September 16, the 2025 C.N. Yang Colloquium of the Department of Physics and Astronomy was delivered by Nobel laureate Dieder Queloz on "Exoplanets and Life in the Universe". Professor Queloz, who shared the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of exoplanets, is director of the Leverhulme Centre for Life in the Universe, University of Cambridge and of the Centre for Origin and Prevalence of Life, ETH Zurich. The colloquium was held at the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics, and presented a panoramic view of the first signs of exoplanets, the varieties of observations and the prospects for the detection of life. The annual C.N. Yang Colloquia are cosponsored by the Yang Institute, the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the Simons Center.
