Phys.org / Physicists demonstrate new violations of local realism
(Phys.org)—Erwin Schrödinger once famously stated that quantum entanglement is "the characteristic trait of quantum mechanics" that distinguishes it from classical theories. Now in a new paper, physicists have demonstrated ...
Phys.org / Most precise test of Lorentz symmetry for the photon finds that the speed of light is indeed constant
(Phys.org)—The laws of physics are the same no matter which direction you're facing or how fast you're moving—it's such an intuitive concept that most people probably don't know that it has a name: Lorentz symmetry. Over ...
Phys.org / A molecular switch for green hydrogen: Catalyst changes function based on how it's assembled
Hydrogen production through water electrolysis is a cornerstone of the clean energy transition, but it relies on efficient and stable catalysts that work under acidic conditions—currently dominated by precious metals like ...
Phys.org / With every extinction, we lose not just a species but a treasure trove of knowledge
The millions of species humans share the world with are valuable in their own right. When one species is lost, it has a ripple effect throughout the ecosystems it existed within.

Phys.org / Music can affect your driving—but not always how you'd expect
For many of us, listening to music is simply part of the driving routine—as ordinary as wearing a seatbelt. We build playlists for road trips, pick songs to stay awake, and even turn the volume up when traffic gets stressful.
Medical Xpress / Mammograms may reveal hidden heart risks for women, study finds
Routine mammograms are best known as a front-line tool for detecting breast cancer. But new research suggests the same X-ray images may also offer an early warning sign for cardiovascular disease—the leading cause of death ...
