  • Boson Systems Shatter Quantum Speed Limits: Information Races Faster Than Particles
    by RIKEN on September 9, 2024 at 4:59 pm

    Information can travel faster than individual particles in systems made up of interacting bosons. Researchers at RIKEN have discovered that in certain quantum systems, information can propagate increasingly faster over time, challenging previous assumptions about universal speed limits such as those defined by the Lieb–Robinson bound. This analysis reveals fundamental differences in how bosons and […]

  • “Unethical”: New Evidence Casts Doubt on a Much-Hyped Blood Test for Early Cancer Detection
    by BMJ Group on September 9, 2024 at 4:08 pm

    The deal obligates the NHS to purchase millions of tests in return for a state-of-the-art facility. However, experts argue the arrangement represents “a clear example of public risk for private gain.” New findings reported by The BMJ raise questions about the reliability of a highly publicized blood test for the NHS that claims to identify […]

  • Is Our Weather Turning Against Us? Scientists Predict Rapid Escalation of Extreme Weather
    by University of Reading on September 9, 2024 at 3:00 pm

    New research reveals that without significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, up to 70% of the global population will face drastic changes in extreme weather within the next two decades. The study highlights potential outcomes of extreme temperature shifts and altered rainfall patterns, emphasizing the urgent need for comprehensive climate action to mitigate these impacts […]
