Physicists propose an experiment in which time itself would exhibit quantum behavior

A new study proposes using ultra-precise atomic clocks to test whether the flow of time can be found in a quantum superposition. The researchers hope to measure for the first time a single clock “ticks” at multiple rates simultaneously.

Amazon acquires Globalstar for $11.57 billion, bringing Amazon Leo closer to the world of satellite cellular

The deal will strengthen direct-to-phone communications capabilities, preserve Apple's satellite services, and put Amazon in more direct competition with Starlink.

Research from Tel Aviv University: Early humans reduced stone tools following the disappearance of giant animals

Researchers suggest that the transition from heavy stone tools to blades, flints, and light scrapers about 200 years ago was not simply due to technological advances, but to the need to adapt to hunting and processing smaller animals.

Artificial night light disrupts the immune system of wild rodents

A study from Tel Aviv University found that artificial lighting at night, even at the intensity of street lighting, disrupts the activity patterns of the immune system in wild rodents and may increase the risk of mortality.
