Bacteria mind games…
By tinkering with the gut’s bacterial residents, scientists have changed the behavior of lab animals and small numbers of people. Microbial meddling has turned anxious mice bold and shy mice social. Rats inoculated with bacteria from depressed people develop signs of depression themselves. And small studies of people suggest that eating specific kinds of bacteria…

Asymmetries. Sensing. Motionless.
“Did something move over there?” Everyone has experienced this situation. One is looking towards a sound source, but with the best will in the world, one cannot detect an object. Only its sudden movement, even if minimal, allows its immediate perception. Scientists at the Ruhr-University Bochum have investigated this phenomenon and show for the first…

Gravitational Waves: Discovered. So long ago…
Some time ago a lot of fuss was created for the discovery of gravitational waves. [1] People. Living in a unique cosmos. A cosmos where everything exist in unison. Afraid of the consequences of such unity, we DECIDED to split the cosmos into many pieces. And now we just see and analyze these pieces separately. Once…

Entangled timelines… One…
A new experiment suggests that reality can split into multiple intertwined timelines, a phenomenon termed “entangled histories”. Choose Your Own Adventure books are fun, but they let readers choose only one version of events at a time. Quantum mechanics, a new experiment suggests, requires that multiple adventures occur simultaneously to create a consistent account of…

Phonons. Photons. All the same…
A research group at Osaka University has succeeded in observing at the intended timing two-phonon quantum interference by using two cold calcium ions in ion traps, which spatially confine charged particles. A phonon is a unit of vibrational energy that arises from oscillating particles within crystals. Two-particle quantum interference experiments using two photons or atoms…
