For decades, entanglement has been the hallmark of quantum weirdness, a ghostly connection between particles that Einstein famously called “spooky action at a distance.” It is at the heart of quantum computing, encryption, and our deepest understanding of the universe. However, recently, researchers in China have pulled off something that sounds almost impossible. They passed one of the toughest tests …

As Figma went public this week to much fanfare—and an almost instantaneous 250% stock pop—quite a few folks from Silicon Valley made money. But the biggest winner in terms of immediate IPO proceeds is not any of the marquee Silicon Valley venture capital firms such as Index Ventures, Greylock, and Kleiner Perkins, who sold only small slivers of their stakes …

S aigon, Vietnam, June 8, 1972. Just before sunrise, a small group of newsmen slid into combat fatigues and safari jackets before slipping through the waking city in a convoy of vans and rental cars. As they sped northwest, they snaked past legions of people seeking refuge, a silent cortege of poverty and misery. Burdened with all they could carry …

For over 100 years, quantum physics has taught us that light is both a wave and a particle. Now, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have performed a daring experiment using single atoms that confirms that, while light can behave as either a particle or a photon, it cannot be seen to behave as both at the same …

Tom Cruise Spotted at Concert of Famous Rock Band That Once Mocked Him originally appeared on Parade. Tom Cruise just made a surprising appearance at an Oasis concert at London’s Wembley Stadium years after the band’s frontmen mocked him in a documentary. Fans were shocked to see the A-list actor at the event, given the history between him and the …

MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum physics. Their findings demonstrate, with atomic-level precision, the dual yet evasive nature of light. They also happen to confirm that Albert Einstein was wrong about this particular quantum scenario. The experiment in question is the double-slit experiment, which was first performed in 1801 by the …

The San Francisco chef who got fired for telling a TikToker she was not famous enough to eat for free at his restaurant has lost everything. Luke Sung was outed last week as the chef at Kis Cafe who turned ‘micro influencer’ @itskarlabb away from an event at the restaurant because she didn’t have enough followers.  Not only was Sung …

A small fragment of rock found at Stonehenge in 1924 may provide the key that unlocks the mystery of how the prehistoric monument was constructed. Known as the Newall Boulder, the bullet-shaped lithic lump sits at the heart of a heated archaeological dispute over whether the stone circle’s enormous building blocks were brought to the site by people or natural …
