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)
Extremely cold atoms defy entropy and refuse to heat up 14. August 2025 (21:00) Adding energy to a group of ultracold atoms should make them fly away from each other with many different energies, but quantum effects can counteract this(New Scientist)
Scientists created a new carbon molecule for the second time ever 14. August 2025 (21:00) For the first time in 35 years, scientists have analysed a new type of all-carbon molecule at room temperature, without the extreme conditions usually required to stabilise this type of molecule(New Scientist)
New subtype of diabetes found in youths from sub-Saharan Africa 14. August 2025 (19:00) In sub-Saharan African youths diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, 65 per cent do not have antibodies or genetic risks associated with the disease, suggesting they have a novel non-autoimmune subtype of the disorder(New Scientist)
Mind-reading AI can turn even imagined speech into spoken words 14. August 2025 (18:00) A brain-computer interface has enabled people with paralysis to turn their thoughts directly into words, requiring less effort than older techniques where a physical attempt at speech had to be made(New Scientist)
