Entanglement beats gravitational test
When does a quantum measurement end? Surprisingly, quantum physicists cannot agree. Some say the measurement ends when you register a result on a piece of classical equipment such as a photomultiplier. Others says the measurement ends when the information in the quantum system has irreversibly leaked into the environment. There are still more who believe…

The hopeless hunt for dark matter
Dark matter is highly sought-after but like the unicorn, it is an elusive match for its hunters. Physics bods have been a-huntin’ for dark matter here on Earth for some time now. They’ve set an impressive number of traps all over the planet and and found zilch. So they’ve asked the astrobods to help out…
