• "A Strange Quantum Theorem Has Killed Einstein's Reality"

  Quanta Magazine argues that recent quantum theorems challenge Einstein's concept of objective reality, suggesting that physical properties do not exist independently of measurement. The article contends that quantum mechanics implies a universe where observation defines state, contradicting classical intuitions about an intrinsic, observer-independent world.

• CERN detects rare particle decay opening door to zeptoverse research

  Scientists at CERN have detected the first evidence of a rare neutral B meson decay predicted by the standard model but observed only once in ten billion attempts. This breakthrough, facilitated by recent LHC upgrades, allows physicists to probe the extremely small scales of the zeptoverse.
