Trapped ions are one of the leading systems to build quantum computers and other quantum technologies. To link multiple such quantum systems, interfaces are needed through which the quantum information can be transmitted. In recent years, researchers led by Tracy Northup and Ben Lanyon at the University of Innsbruck’s Department of Experimental Physics have developed a method for doing this by trapping atoms in optical cavities such that quantum information can be efficiently transferred to light particles. The light particles can then be sent through optical fibers to connect atoms at different locations. Now, their teams, together with theorists led…

In her ears were a pair of gold statement earrings and she wore a bold…
Turning action into drama also helped flesh out some of the game’s more derivative aspects. There’s no getting around the similarities to Station Eleven, The Walking Dead, Children of Men, I Am Legend, and The Road. But the show transforms The Last of Us into a full-blown environmental fable. Before the action-packed scenes of Joel and Sarah fleeing their home, there is a preamble: a Jack Paar-like talk show in 1968 featuring two epidemiologists. One warns that humanity is at great risk from a pandemic caused by a flu-like virus. The other scoffs: The real threat is not mere bacteria, but a fungus like Cordyceps, which controls…

One who cackles at the sky and shakes their fist and brings some form of doom to something or someone. It is fun to have someone to root against and root for — especially if they have a fun, cosplay-worthy aesthetic. With all that goes into stanning our favorite villains of all time, there is something to be said about examining the superficiality of villainy. Like many character types, villains have often been visually identifiable. They have some…
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain It was a cool Thursday morning in Cape Canaveral as the nation’s first space shuttle was about to make its last ever trip into space. Space Shuttle Columbia lifted off at 10:39 a.m. Eastern time on Jan. 16, 2003, from Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Pad 39-A with a crew of seven. “The Lord has blessed us with a beautiful day here,” mission commander Rick Husband said over the radio just before liftoff. “We appreciate all of the hard work everyone has put into this, and we are ready to go.” Husband’s crew were shuttle pilot William…

Photography courtesy of Imaxtree Or could it be both? By Natalie Michie Date January 23, 2023 Surrealist beauty looks. Gravity-defying designs. A viral scandal that has left the internet divided.

I Keep My Exoskeletons To Myself by Marisa Crane What’s it About? A lyrical, speculative debut about a queer mother raising her daughter in an unjust surveillance state. Shadows exist as reminders of people’s crimes in this poetic, disturbing and hopeful debut from Marisa Crane. I Keep My Exoskeletons to Myself (Catapult) is a near-future, speculative sci-fi novel, set in an imagined United States that feels eerily similar to our own. The Department of Balance acts as the corrupt and prejudiced law enforcement of this world, doling out punishments to criminals and rule-breakers. Only, instead of imprisonment, wrongdoers are sentenced…
Around 12,000 years ago, the Neolithic revolution radically changed the economy, diet and structure of the first human societies in the Fertile Crescent of the Near East. With the beginning of the cultivation of cereals — such as wheat and barley — and the domestication of animals, the first cities emerged in a new social context marked by a productive economy. Now, a study published in the journal Trends in Plant Science and co-led by the University of Barcelona, the Agrotecnio centre and the University of Lleida, analyses the evolution of wheat spikes since its cultivation began by the inhabitants…

The wide availability of image generators has caused not only an explosion of experimentation but also discussion around the implications of the technology. One knotty problem is that the images created can inherit biases from the data they are fed; another that they could be used to generate harmful content. The copyright and trademark implications of AI art are also unclear, and some artists worry that such tools may make work harder to find. Those debates will continue in 2023—and the technology looks likely to keep improving quickly. In December, researchers at Google announced an image-generation tool called Muse built around a new technique. They claim…

La Cova des Pas, near the town of Ferreries, is a prehistoric mass burial site with the largest collection of complete human skeletons found in Menorca. Credit: GREAB-UAB Researchers from a variety of Spanish institutions have managed to reconstruct the diet of some 50 individuals buried more than 3,000 years ago in the Cova des Pas’ necropolis in Menorca. The study, coordinated by the UAB, indicates a diet of plants and meat, with all individuals having the same access to food, implying that they were a socially egalitarian group. These findings form part of the study on eating habits of…
Seriously, how does Joe get himself into these situations? We finally learn who the real Eat the Rich Killer is in the fast-paced YOU Season 4 Episode 5, and after many red herrings and segue ways, the truth is likely precisely who you’d expect: Rhys.

The first two Ant-Man movies were both breaks from the epic action of the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ant-Man 1 was like a little epilogue to Avengers: Age of Ultron. Ant-Man and the Wasp was like a little ellipsis in the space between Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. These movies were the intermezzo between major courses of the meal that is the MCU.But Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is different. Instead of the coda after a phase, it’s the official kickoff of Phase 5 of the MCU, and the formal introduction of Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conqueror, who will be the key villain in the next several…
