In a Landmark Physics First, Scientists Observe Atoms Existing in Two Separate Places at the Same Time

Scientists at Australian National University (ANU) have reported the first confirmed observation of atoms engaged in one of the most perplexing behaviours known to modern physics: the apparent ability to exist in two entirely separate places at once. The phenomenon, known as entanglement, could be more accurately described as the…

Study reveals bats have an internal “compass” that functions independent of celestial cues

Researchers recorded neural activity in bats navigating in the wild, revealing a sophisticated internal “compass” that functions independently of celestial cues like the moon and stars. Unlike migratory birds that rely on Earth's magnetic field, bats' head-direction neurons consistently fired based on learned landmarks, maintaining…

China found an energy source in US archives that could power its future for 20,000 years – and implemented it

In the 1960s, the US – more precisely, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee – invented a revolutionary type of nuclear reactor that could be powered by thorium instead of uranium (much more abundant and cheaper), with no risk of meltdown, 50 times less waste, and no need for water. Then, due to chaotic politics, they killed the…
