Why trusting physics, not politics, once kept Iran in check - opinion
We backed the Iran nuclear deal not out of trust in Tehran but trust in physics. A decade later, Iran’s program is stronger, and the cost of abandoning diplomacy is clear.

'Brightest-ever' gamma ray burst has scientists around the world excited
The burst, known as GRB 221009A but nicknamed the "B.O.A.T." (Brightest Of All Time), disrupted Earth's ionosphere.
Behavior of star clusters challenge Newton's laws of gravity
Data from open star clusters seems to fit better with an alternate theory of gravity.

One of the authors of the study said that quantum brain processes could explain why humans can outperform supercomputers.
Eduard Shyfrin speaks at Jewish studies conference in Jerusalem
Shyfrin spoke via Zoom on “Kabbalah of Information: Absence of Information is Information". He explained how Kabbalistic ideas can be explained using the support of information theory and physics.
New phase of matter could protect quantum computers against errors
The researchers still need to find a way to integrate the phase with the computational side of quantum computing.
Scientists find the most massive neutron star close to the black hole limit - study
PSR J0952–0607 is a neutron star 2.3 times as massive as the Sun but around just 20 kilometers wide. It is the closest pulsar known to the limit to forming a black hole.
