Scientists Reversed a Law of Physics by Scrambling Cause and Effect (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: An international team of scientists has described a truly bizarre scenario: two quantum chambers sending heat energy from a cooler side toward a warmer side. In other words, the opposite of how heat generally flows. To accomplish their goal, the team capitalized on quantum physics’ most iconic quality—superposition, where a system can exist in two states simultaneously. Superposition creates a dynamic called indefinite causal order (ICO), where
James Webb Just Spotted a Black Hole Older Than Time Itself (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: A team of scientists believes they’ve identified the true nature of the small red dots that are popping up on many images of the farthest reaches of the universe. The red dot studied in the new research—which appears in the journal Nature—may be a black hole “100,000 times as massive as the Sun,” with a surrounding gaseous body the size of our Solar System. Working with data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the team picked a patch
Half the World’s Population Will Be Nearsighted by 2050. Scientists Found a Life-Changing Fix. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: In newly published research, scientists found that a certain wavelength of the visible spectrum of light was responsible for preventing tree shrews from developing nearsightedness. Though “tree shrew” may bring up images of tiny rodents, the name is a bit of a misnomer. These mammals are closely related to primates, with eyes that make them ideal for studying myopia, the technical term for nearsightedness. This new research does not yet have con
Scientists Built a Molecule From Ordinary Atoms—and It Doubled Survival for a ‘Hidden’ Cancer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: The FDA recently approved a new pancreatic cancer drug called daraxonrasib, branded as Rasonque. The new drug—part of a category called RAS inhibitors—nearly doubled the survival time in a study of 500 patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (cancer that has spread beyond the pancreas): “13.2 months compared to 6.7 months,” the FDA explained in a press release. Daraxonrasib candidates “have received at least one prior systemic therapy
Scientists May Have Proved a Century-Old Theory That the Vacuum of Space Isn’t Really Empty (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: A large, global team of scientists recently collaborated to study an unusual neutron star—known as a magnetar—in search of a quantum phenomenon called vacuum birefringence. Incredibly, they were able to find strong evidence for this long-predicted quantum electrodynamic phenomenon because of the combination of powerful X-ray radiation and an extra strong magnetic field on the star’s surface. The work appears now in the peer reviewed journal Natu
