Die jährliche Versorgungsmission Südafrikas zur Marion-Insel hat sich aufgrund von Kraftstoffknappheit infolge des Krieges zwischen den USA, Israel und dem Iran verzögert. Das Ministerium für Forstwirtschaft, Fischerei und Umwelt bestätigte, dass die weltweite Verknappung von speziellem Polardiesel den Auslauf der SA Agulhas II behindert habe. Die Behörden erklärten, sie arbeiteten daran, die Auswirkungen zu begrenzen und gleichzeitig die Sicherheit zu gewährleisten.

A new Uppsala University study finds that many students at adapted upper secondary schools remain uncertain about consent boundaries and illegal acts despite targeted sex education.

People who lose weight using GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy may be judged more negatively than those who lose weight through diet and exercise — and even more negatively than people who do not lose weight at all — according to a new study led by Rice University psychologist Erin Standen.

Scientists at California Polytechnic State University have discovered new forms of quantum matter by varying magnetic fields over time. The breakthrough, detailed in Physical Review B, shows that time-dependent control can produce stable quantum states without static equivalents. This could advance quantum computing by making systems more resistant to errors.

Researchers at the University of Oxford have achieved the first-ever demonstration of quadsqueezing, a fourth-order quantum effect, using a single trapped ion. The breakthrough, published on May 1 in Nature Physics, introduces a novel method to engineer complex quantum interactions. This advance could enhance quantum simulation, sensing, and computing.

An international team of researchers has achieved a milestone in quantum communication by teleporting the polarization state of a single photon between two separate quantum dots over a 270-meter open-air link. The experiment, conducted at Sapienza University of Rome, demonstrates the potential for quantum relays in future quantum networks. The findings were published in Nature Communications.
