Neutrinos are known for funny business. Now scientists have set a new limit on a quantum trait responsible for the subatomic particles’ quirkiness: uncertainty.
The lightweight particles morph from one variety of neutrino to another as they travel, a strange phenomenon called neutrino oscillation (SN: 10/6/15). That ability rests on quantum uncertainty, a sort of fuzziness intrinsic to the properties of quantum objects, such as their location or momentum. But despite the importance of quantum uncertainty, the uncertainty
The stable of imagery associated with the far-right insurgency no longer seems as fresh as it did when Trump first donned his red cap.

For headline writers and Beltway pundits, the takeaway from last
Ever since the first iPhone was unveiled more than 15 years ago, Apple has had a vice-like grip on the smartphone market.
And as frenzied rumours surrounded the iPhone 15 this time last year, this showed little sign of coming to an end.
Unfortunately for Apple, the phone received a mixed reception when it was released in September and has been called potentially ‘the biggest flop in Apple’s history’.
Now, Apple shares have fallen four per cent after ‘lackluster’ sales
He began to feel less confused. His exhaustion hovered momentarily, like a bird that’s flown too far from the roost . . . and then it was gone. “Could I buy you a drink?” he offered.
When he awoke late the following morning, there were messages from May and Caroline, the latter of whom said, “Call me.” It occurred to him that he could do that—call his wife—without guilt or resorting to subterfuge, because he hadn’t slept with his editor
A new vaccine that appears to stop Alzheimer’s in its tracks is adding to optimism that this could be the beginning of the end for the disease.
A study of the jab in mice found that not only did the shot clear harmful amyloid plaque from the brain, it also prevented the behavioral changes that normally plague Alzheimer’s sufferers.
It comes after a year in which two breakthrough drugs proved they could slow the disease, ending decades of failed trials
The red-state drive to reverse the rights revolution of the past six decades continues to intensify, triggering confrontations involving every level of government.
In rapid succession, Republican-controlled states are applying unprecedented tactics to shift social policy sharply to the right, not only within their borders but across the nation. Just last Thursday, the GOP-controlled Tennessee House of Representatives voted to expel two young Black Democratic representatives, and Texas’s Republican governor, Greg Abbott, on Saturday moved to nullify the verdict of
The second season of HBO’s The White Lotus came to an end on Sunday, with the identity of the mystery corpse seen in the premiere revealed to be Tanya McQuoid (Jennifer Coolidge).
The season opened with Daphne (Meghann Fahy) chatting with some new guests on her last day at The White Lotus in Sicily, before going out for a swim… where she discovered a corpse floating in the sea.
The Season 2 finale – appropriately entitled Arrivederci – the guests
Seventy-one percent of Americans now have a favorable view of unions. That figure is comparable to the level of support for labor in the 1930s, when the movement saw explosive growth. This burgeoning enthusiasm for union thrills Vice President Kamala Harris who, as the leader of the Biden administration’s concerted effort
Aufmachen. Noah Cyrus scheinbar den Grund hinter ihren Eltern angedeutet, Billy Ray und Tisch Cyrus‘ Scheidung in ihrem neuen Song “Every Beginning Ends”, der am Freitag, den 26. August veröffentlicht wurde.
Die 22-jährige Sängerin arbeitete mit der Sängerin Death Cab for Cutie zusammen Benjamin Gibbard für den Track, der ihr „mehr Verständnis“ für Beziehungen vermittelte.
„[Benjamin and I] sprach über vergangene Beziehungen, gescheiterte Beziehungen, die Beziehungen unserer Eltern und Beziehungen, die für immer gedauert haben“, teilte Noah in einer
Should the Supreme Court’s final ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization resemble Justice Samuel Alito’s leaked draft opinion, it will be an unprecedented moment in the annals of the Court. Never before has the Court reversed its own decisions in order to completely eliminate a recognized constitutional right protecting personal conduct—and here one that thousands of people turn to every year. Probably on that account, the overwhelming majority of the American people oppose the action that the Court
