The Short-Baseline Near Detector (SBND) at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory recently achieved a significant milestone by detecting its first neutrino interactions. This achievement marks the culmination of nearly a decade of planning, prototyping, and construction by the SBND collaboration. The efforts of 250 physicists and engineers from Brazil, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the

Taylor Swift recently took to Instagram to announce her endorsement for Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election. She revealed that the catalyst for her public support was the circulation of AI-generated images falsely endorsing Donald Trump on his campaign site. This prompted Swift to address the dangers of spreading misinformation through technology.
The iPhone 16’s “Camera Control” has been touted as a revolutionary new feature by Apple, marking a significant step forward in how we interact with technology. However, upon closer inspection, it’s hard to ignore the fact that at its core, it is still just a button. Despite the hype surrounding it, the Camera Control feature
Australia recently announced plans to set a minimum age limit for children to use social media, with the potential age range being between 14 and 16. The move has sparked a backlash from digital rights advocates, who are concerned about the impact this restriction could have on online activity. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese expressed his
The gaming industry is no stranger to layoffs and studio closures, and Embracer is a prime example of a company that has made promises it cannot keep. Despite the CEO’s announcement that the widespread removal of workers was over, it is clear that layoffs are still happening across their many owned studios. Recently, a support
Non-Hermitian systems have been gaining attention in the scientific community due to their unique properties and potential applications in various fields such as photonics and condensed matter physics. In a recent study published in Physical Review Letters, researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery in the realm of non-Hermitian systems by observing the first experimental evidence
In a recent ruling by the top EU court, a 13-billion-euro tax case involving Apple and Ireland was decided. This legal battle dates back to 2016 when the European Commission accused Ireland of allowing Apple to avoid billions of euros in taxes through sweetheart tax arrangements.

In a recent keynote speech at Cambridge Tech Week, former CEO of British chip design firm Arm, Warren East, criticized the U.K. for its inadequate efforts in commercializing technology businesses on a global scale. He emphasized the need for a mindset shift within the investor community in order for the U.K. to become successful in
When it comes to systems with many small particles interacting, the complexity and chaos can be overwhelming. However, some of these systems can surprisingly be described using simple theories. But what about the world of quantum physics? A team of researchers led by Professor Monika Aidelsburger and Professor Immanuel Bloch from the LMU Faculty of
