John Stewart Bell devised a way to measure the strange correlations allowed in the quantum realmCERN Some people think they have a poltergeist in their attic, some say they’ve seen ghosts on dark nights – I have John Stewart Bell. The physicist’s research and his tremendous legacy have been haunting me for years. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. Do you ever think about how much of what we experience as reality is actually, objectively, unambiguously real? I have to, or I couldn’t write about the nature of space and time, and the intricate goings-on in the quantum realm. Bell…

OpenAI’s o3, Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro, Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4, and DeepSeek-R1 were among the 18 artificial intelligence (AI) models that played the popular strategy game Diplomacy.

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Dodging Mr. Right? It started with an impulsive yes. I saw that my local University was taking a professor-guided trip to India. I called my husband and told him about it. He encouraged me to go. He said it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. So, I signed up immediately after getting off the phone. Many vaccine shots later, I found myself in India—touring palaces and temples, riding camels, learning history, and pestering the professor with more questions than he probably wanted to answer. I was curious about the family life…

My mom and I have very different senses of style—she loves color and isn’t afraid of intricate prints, while I tend to gravitate towards more minimalist pieces. I’d describe her style as sweet, artistic, a little boho, and always comfortable. She loves relaxed tops, cardigans, soft knitwear, flowy dresses, and denim in pastels, jewel tones, and earthy shades.When she asked me of recommendations on where to shop, Madewell was one of the first places that came to mind. Their aesthetic feels laid-back but still put-together, with pieces that are casual yet intentional.It just so happens that they’re running a sale…

What about bike thieves? The company has a suite of tools for theft prevention under the term Infinite Security. All Olto ebikes come with GPS and internet, so you can track yours via the companion app (iOS and Android will be available at launch).

The steering and motor also lock up, so it’d take considerable effort to move the 178-pound ebike. Much of this…

A mysterious type of pitting on the dental enamel of Paranthropus, a genus of extinct human relatives, has baffled experts for decades. But new research suggests the clusters of pits are genetic rather than evidence of a disease, making them key to further understanding the human family tree.”Teeth preserve an incredible amount of biological and evolutionary information,” study co-author Ian Towle, a researcher in the Palaeodiet Research Lab at Monash University in Australia, told Live Science. “This specific type of pitting might turn out to be a unique marker for certain evolutionary lineages, helping us identify fossils.”Towle and colleagues detailed…

A gang of small-town drug dealing gym rats are set upon by a murderous stranger in this satisfying Welsh genre piece. There are worse films to be obsessed with than Shane Meadows‘ Dead Man’s Shoes, and that film’s blood-flecked paw prints are all over writer/director Tony Burke’s witty, Welsh revenge yarn, Protein. The film cheekily adopts its title from the supposed nutritional qualities of human flesh among the more desperate echelons of the body building community, as our hooded, monosyllabic protagonist, Sion (Craig Russell), is in town to take out some tinpot trash and then feast on their freshly carved…
