Detecting quantum particles of gravity was long considered hopeless. A new perspective, which takes advantage of quantum technologies, suggests that an experimental realization may be closer than previously thought.
The quest for ever‐heavier nuclei turns to heavy‐ion accelerators that could produce hundreds of excited short‐lived species—and possibly a few, in their ground states, that live for years.
An interview with a prominent member of the Marshallese diaspora delves into the ongoing impact of aboveground US nuclear weapons testing in the Pacific archipelago.
