Paper Addresses Natural History Collections' Role in Pandemic Preparedness

Natural history collections contain information needed to prevent, prepare for, and respond to disease outbreaks that could turn into a pandemic -- but they are an underused resource. Dozens of collections and other experts gathered last year to analyze how to change that and their findings were published today in the journal BioScience.

QSA Harnesses Quantum Devices and Techniques to Explore Physics

Berkeley Lab's Quantum Systems Accelerator (QSA) advances science by developing quantum devices and techniques to explore fundamental questions in physics. It has achieved breakthroughs like increased quantum coherence with ultracold atoms and enhanced quantum device precision using entanglement. QSA researchers also innovate noninvasive quantum devices and magnetoARPES techniques to study quantum materials, pushing scientific boundaries. Crucial to QSA's cutting-edge experiments that advance our fundamental understanding of physics is a collaboration between institutions and a strong vision to explore profound questions with current quantum technologies. QSA is a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science National Quantum Information Science Research Center.

Now, Ulbricht is picking up where he left off, getting his first taste of a world he left behind in 2013 when a federal judge sentenced him to two counts of life in prison, plus 40 years without parole.

Finding a Better Way to Distinguish Life from Non-Life

The search for life on other worlds needs a way to sift through the chemistry of their atmospheres. If another species observed Earth to search for life, they'd look for "smoking gun" chemistry in the atmosphere. That includes looking for oxygen, since it is created through photosynthesis by plants and some bacteria. So, the key is to look for life-dependent chemical "signals" at exoplanets.

Scientists like to refer to our planet as residing in the "Goldilocks zone," where it's neither too hot nor too cold, and just the right distance away from the Sun to support life. But in the classic "Goldilocks" fairy tale, our eponymous protagonist is forced to flee from the bear's abode she rudely invited herself into, and never comes back. No more perfect porridges or adequately sized beds. That could be the case for Earth one day, if we are to exhaust this analogy. Instead of being booted out by friendly bears, however, we might be thrown to the curb [...]

As Elon Musk took to throwing government agencies into chaos, his well-documented drug use ramped up significantly. As the New York Times reports, Musk's drug consumption "went well beyond occasional use," opting to travel with a daily medication box that held roughly 20 pills. His medications included anything from ketamine, which he has previously claimed to use as an antidepressant, to Adderall, a prescription medication that's commonly used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The reporting lines up with Musk's extremely unusual behavior during his turbulent tenure at the White House. During an early February appearance in the Oval [...]
