Quantum device detects all units of electricity at once 18. August 2025 (15:00) Defining the fundamental units of electricity used to require two finicky quantum devices – but now scientists have found an easier way to standardise our electrical measurements(New Scientist)
Rare 'triple-dip' La Niña may explain why 2023 was so hot 18. August 2025 (14:00) The record-breaking global temperatures seen in late 2023 may have emerged partly because of unusual conditions in the Pacific Ocean in the preceding years(New Scientist)
Jupiter's moon Ganymede could be a giant dark matter detector 18. August 2025 (10:00) Large dark matter particles hitting Jupiter’s largest moon would form distinctive craters in its icy surface, and upcoming space missions might be able to spot them(New Scientist)
It is impossible to build a practical quantum broadcaster 15. August 2025 (19:00) A quantum broadcasting system would end up sending slightly different information to every receiver – and efforts to sidestep this problem are too inefficient for practical use(New Scientist)
Weird microbial partnership shows how complex life may have evolved 15. August 2025 (18:00) Connecting tubes between bacteria and a kind of microbe called archaea may reflect a symbiotic relationship that led to complex cells more than 2 billion years ago(New Scientist)
We have detected a single electron with unprecedented speed 15. August 2025 (14:00) An extremely precise detection method for single electrons, which pins down the particles with a resolution of trillionths of a second, may provide a valuable building block for future quantum technologies(New Scientist)
