Quantum ‘spooky action at a distance’ becoming practical
A team from Griffith’s Centre for Quantum Dynamics in Australia have demonstrated how to rigorously test if pairs of photons – particles of light – display Einstein’s “spooky action at a distance”, even under adverse conditions that mimic those outside the lab.

Most precise test of Lorentz symmetry for the photon finds that the speed of light is indeed constant
(Phys.org)-The laws of physics are the same no matter which direction you’re facing or how fast you’re moving-it’s such an intuitive concept that most people probably don’t know that it has a name: Lorentz symmetry. Over the past several decades, physicists have been testing Lorentz symmetry at ever-higher degrees of precision, as violations of the foundational property are predicted by a number of proposals that aim to unify the two major theories of modern physics: general relativity and the standard model of particle physics.
New Bandage Sucks Bacteria Out Of A Wound
Bandages are an important barrier between the wound and the world. They prevent bacteria entering the body and causing infection. However, what about bacte
