Even the heaviest particles experience the usual quantum weirdness, new experiment shows
One of the most surprising predictions of physics is entanglement, a phenomenon where objects can be some distance apart but still linked together. The best-known examples of entanglement involve tiny chunks of light (photons), and low energies......»»
Saturday Citations: Football metaphors in physics; vets treat adorable baby rhino"s broken leg
This week, researchers reported an effective way to protect working dogs from heat stress: training them to dunk their heads in cool water. A new computational technique provided a breakthrough in understanding the so-called "pseudogap" in quantum ph.....»»
Regular iPhone 17 models rumored to get Apple’s best Pro display feature
One of the major complaints of the tech community is the lack of dynamic refresh rate on the regular iPhone models, as many mid-Android phones … The post Regular iPhone 17 models rumored to get Apple’s best Pro display feature appeared first.....»»
Analysis of heterostructures for spintronics shows how two desired quantum-physical effects reinforce each other
Spintronics uses the spins of electrons to perform logic operations or store information. Ideally, spintronic devices could operate faster and more energy-efficiently than conventional semiconductor devices. However, it is still difficult to create a.....»»
Netflix’s official list of 1H 2024’s top content is full of great shows and terrible movies

Could interstellar quantum communications involve Earth or solve the Fermi paradox?
Thus far, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) has used strategies based on classical science—listening for radio waves, telescopes watching for optical signals, telescopes in orbit scouring light from the atmospheres of exoplanets,.....»»
Were Bohr and von Neumann really in conflict over quantum measurements?
Analysis suggests that the two pioneers of quantum mechanics, Niels Bohr and John von Neumann, may have had more similar views than previously thought regarding the nature of quantum systems, and the classical apparatus used to measure them......»»
Antioxidant carbon dot nanozymes alleviate depression in rats by restoring the gut microbiome
Depression is a significant challenge to diagnose and treat. Among the factors influencing depression onset and severity, there is growing evidence for chemical imbalances that generate oxidative stress throughout the body. To address this problem, r.....»»
I Actually Enjoyed the Pixel 9 More than its Pro Siblings
Call me crazy, but I prefer the "regular" Pixel 9 much better than Google's more premium handset. The post I Actually Enjoyed the Pixel 9 More than its Pro Siblings appeared first on Phandroid. I’ve been a Pixel user for nearly half.....»»
LHC experiments observe quantum entanglement at the highest energy yet
Quantum entanglement is a fascinating feature of quantum physics—the theory of the very small. If two particles are quantum-entangled, the state of one particle is tied to that of the other, no matter how far apart the particles are. This mind-bend.....»»
Small populations of Stone Age people drove dwarf hippos and elephants to extinction on Cyprus
Imagine growing up beside the eastern Mediterranean Sea 14,000 years ago. You're an accomplished sailor of the small watercraft you and your fellow villagers make, and you live off both the sea and the land......»»
