The results were 18 standard deviations away from what you’d expect based on Bell’s theorem, which is a strong indication that superposition of temporal order is a fundamental feature of quantum mechanics. But the experiment remains where entanglement was a few decades ago: There are plenty of loopholes. For example, many photons are lost during…
April’s full moon, known as the Pink Moon, is the first full moon of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. It will be at its fullest on Wednesday, April 1, but it will also look bright and full Tuesday and Thursday (March 31 and April 2). Only on Wednesday, though, will it appear close to the…

So the crew members have been training to sleep, eat, exercise, use the bathroom and communicate with ground controllers in very tight quarters. The Orion capsule includes a space toilet (with…
Today’s nearly $70 billion U.S. biofuels economy is powered by two technology toolboxes. Biochemical technologies—used to produce around 17 billion gallons of ethanol annually—leverage microorganisms to convert plant biomass sugars into alcohols, other biofuels, or chemicals. Chemical technologies, the second toolbox, use catalysts to turn biomass and wastes into similar target products. Source: Read Full…
Supervolcanoes, like the one in Yellowstone National Park, don’t just erupt and go quiet — they slowly rebuild. And now, scientists say they’re finally getting a clearer picture of how that happens. Published in Communications Earth & Environment, the new research focused on Japan’s Kikai caldera, the site of the largest volcanic eruption of the…
