A new study by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has bridged the gap between quantum and classical physics. This study shows that mathematical ideas from classical physics can be used to explain the strange and “spooky” behavior attributed to quantum particles. Despite the development of applications such as quantum computing and sensing, … Read more
Farmers battling the worst rat plague ever seen across Western Australia say solutions are bogged down in red tape. An estimated 8,000 rats live on every hectare in northern Washington’s grain belt, and swarms can be seen on pastures and on roads at night. Grain producers say current doses of the toxic zinc phosphide are … Read more
Renewable energy now accounts for more of the world’s electricity than coal It accounts for 33.8% of electricity generation compared to 33% for coal. Solar power is meeting 75% of the world’s electricity demand growth and is a key driver here. Sustainability Week 2026 This article is part of a series of sustainability-themed articles we’re … Read more
FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) — To maintain power generation for thousands of homes across much of the western United States, a canyon in eastern Utah will gush so much water this spring that it will keep as many as 50,000 toilets flushing at any one time. While the Green and Colorado rivers may seem like … Read more
When astronauts return to Earth, it can take some time for them to adjust to the return of gravity. A viral video of NASA astronaut Tom Marshburn cursing gravity while trying to place a pen in the air was actually a parody. But that’s not the case too much As a new study nearly 20 … Read more
When the first gravitational waves (GW) were detected in 2015, scientists said they had opened a new window into the universe. Most of astronomy is based on detecting electromagnetic energy, but GW is different. They are ripples in spacetime predicted by Einstein. Using GW detectors, it is now possible to detect mergers between black holes … Read more
Researchers have discovered a new species of tripedaria jellyfish in a shrimp pond in Hong Kong’s Mai Po Nature Reserve. This animal is only about half an inch long, making it difficult to spot in murky pond water. This discovery added the fourth member described to the family Tripedidaea small group of closely related box … Read more
In the world of quantum physics, incredible events unfold with astonishing speed. Processes that were thought to occur instantaneously, such as quantum entanglement, are now directly measured in fractions of a second, or attoseconds. It’s like freezing a moment in time to reveal the subtle details hidden in the mundane. Professor Joachim Burgdorfer … Read more

Although Starlink customers have likely never used it, SpaceX plans to discontinue a little-known GPS feature that can be used to track and pinpoint the location of Starlink antennas. The company on Tuesday began notifying customers about the deprecation of gRPC, an open source software framework that was integrated into Starlink hardware. “Starting May 20th, … Read more
