Quantum Tunnels Show How Particles Can Break the Speed of Light
...traveling through space. In that way it almost seems weirder than entanglement.” In a paper published in the New Journal of Physics in September, Pollak and two colleagues argued that...
Our Bodies, Our Data
...in physics and other fields. “In high-energy physics, the data is well-structured and annotated, and the infrastructure has been perfected for years through well-designed and funded collaborations,” said Zola. Biological...
