If quantum entanglement could arise in neurons, the phenomenon could explain how different parts of the brain work together. Now calculations show how nerve fibres can produce entangled particles www.newscientist.com/article/2441936-nerve...

A subatomic particle called the muon caused waves when its experimental behaviour failed to match up with the standard model's predictions – but a new theoretical calculation might solve the problem. www.newscientist.com/article/2441744-parti...
The sun’s gravitational pull may be able to capture incoming objects from as far as 3.81 light years away, including interstellar comets and even rogue planets. www.newscientist.com/article/2441472-the-s...
The risk of nuclear meltdown looms large in the public imagination, but for the first time ever researchers in China have shown it is possible for a reactor to cool itself down in an emergency, making disaster impossible. www.newscientist.com/article/2440388-chine...

Brain fog – which encompasses memory problems, lack of mental clarity and an inability to focus – had eluded scientific scrutiny until covid-19 thrust it into the spotlight
Now, we're starting to learn more about what exactly it is and how we can beat it

In 1871, the mathematician Lord Kelvin invented a shape called an isotropic helicoid. He predicted it would behave strangely in a fluid.
Now the shape has been 3D-printed and tested for the first time – and it seems Kelvin may have been wrong www.newscientist.com/article/2284174-stran...
