First Map Made of a Solid’s Secret Quantum Geometry

Famously, at the quantum scale, particles can be in multiple possible locations at once. A particle’s state spreads out like a wave, peaking where the particle is likely to be found. When you measure its position, this spread-out state, known as a wave function, transforms into a single definite location. The full shape of the… Continue reading First Map Made of a Solid’s Secret Quantum Geometry

Tipping the Scales: Why So Many Cases Against Trump Are Heard by Democrat-Appointed Judges

As the Trump administration faces substantial pushback in the courts, including an unprecedented wave of nationwide injunctions halting its policies, some are claiming that his opponents are tilting the scales of justice by selectively bringing their lawsuits before sympathetic courts in a practice called “forum shopping.” They note that three-quarters of the lower court justices… Continue reading Tipping the Scales: Why So Many Cases Against Trump Are Heard by Democrat-Appointed Judges

Bizarre Quantum Universe

Bizarre Quantum Universe Even how matter exists in the first place is a mystery to physicists By Andrea Gawrylewski In 2022 three scientists won the Nobel Prize in Physics for proving something astonishing: the universe is not locally real. In other words, particles don’t have fixed properties until they are measured. Although it seems to… Continue reading Bizarre Quantum Universe

The Rule of Law: A Visit to Immigration Court

NEW ORLEANS—In drab, windowless rooms strung along a tight corridor, migrants who have flooded into the United States in recent years trickle before immigration judges each weekday morning.  These makeshift courtrooms are a far cry from the scorched border with Mexico and busy ports and airports through which these millions of immigrants have entered the… Continue reading The Rule of Law: A Visit to Immigration Court

New Quantum Algorithm Factors Numbers With One Qubit

In the past, researchers have tried to improve on Shor’s algorithm for factoring by simulating a qubit using a continuous system, with its expanded set of possible values. But even if your system computes with continuous qubits, it will still need a lot of them to factor numbers, and it won’t necessarily go any faster.… Continue reading New Quantum Algorithm Factors Numbers With One Qubit

James Madison’s Appeal to Reasonable Discourse

On June 8, 1789, James Madison rose before Congress and performed an about-face. The founder who had opposed the addition of a bill of rights to the Constitution conceded to pressure from advocates of adding amendments to protect Americans against abuses of government power. He gave a speech in which he defended amendments he never… Continue reading James Madison’s Appeal to Reasonable Discourse

Trump Fired the Heat Experts. Now He Might Kill Their Heat Rule

CLIMATEWIRE | When federal regulators were crafting a first-ever proposal to protect workers from extreme heat, they relied on government health experts who had been working on the deadly effects of high temperatures for years. Now that entire team is gone due to President Donald Trump’s personnel purges. It comes ahead of summertime heat waves… Continue reading Trump Fired the Heat Experts. Now He Might Kill Their Heat Rule

It’s Not Just You. Everything Really Is Getting More Complicated over Time

Whether we’re considering global trade, new technologies or scientific research, everything seems to become more complex over time. In the past, polymaths became well versed in various disciplines and made important contributions to each. But today it is far more difficult for a person to excel in multiple domains, in part because of greater specialization.… Continue reading It’s Not Just You.
