Quantum mechanics is full of states that seem to defy ordinary sense, but one of its strangest ideas has usually been built from fairly familiar pieces. At the University of Oxford, physicists have now shown they can assemble Schrödinger’s cat-like superpositions from far more exotic quantum ingredients. This produces a new class of states in...
iOS 27 includes code references to break reminders that Siri may display after especially long conversations. Here are the details. more…
Water droplets can become electrically charged as they slide across surfaces, sometimes reaching electrical potentials of thousands of volts. Experiments found that charged droplets damaged protective coatings after 3,000 impacts, while otherwise identical neutral droplets left the coating unchanged. The electrical discharge can puncture insulating coatings, expose the metal underneath...
A study involving children suffering from anxiety disorders and their parents found that greater emotion dysregulation in children was associated with greater family accommodation. In other words, children who were less able to regulate their emotional arousal tended to have families that made more changes in their behavior to help...
Tokyo Metropolitan University researchers built a pulsed electromagnet system that can test magnetic aerobraking under shockwaves traveling about 7.7 kilometers per second. The system produced magnetic fields of 1.24 and 1.58 tesla, reaching roughly 1.7 and 2.1 times the strength of the permanent magnet used for comparison. Applying the magnetic...
