Marine life hit by ‘perfect storm’ as Red List reveals species near extinction

Leave a Comment / Environment / By

Illegal and unsustainable fishing, fossil fuel exploration, climate crisis and disease are pushing marine species to the brink of extinction, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List, with populations of dugong, abalone and pillar coral at risk of disappearing forever. Marine life is facing a ‘perfect storm’ of human overconsumption, …

Quantum Processor Reveals Photon Bound States Remain Strong Even Amid Chaos

Quantum Processor Reveals Photon Bound States Remain Strong Even Amid Chaos

Leave a Comment / Physics / By

A ring of superconducting qubits can host “bound states” of microwave photons, where photons tend to clump together on neighboring qubit sites. Credit: Google Quantum AI The researchers used a quantum processor to make the microwave photons unusually sticky. They coaxed them into clumping together into bound states, then discovered that these photon clusters survived …
