Home institution of Ross Anderson, who commented on the findings
Drill cores from Australia's Northern Territory sat in a Darwin warehouse for decades before researchers dissolved the stored mudstone and found more than 12,000 microfossils. They are eukaryotes — complex cells nearly 1.7 billion years old, among the oldest ever found.

Contributed physicists to the analysis
Physicists at CERN have found strong evidence that Z bosons, the particles that carry the weak nuclear force, become quantum entangled when produced in Higgs boson decays. The result, based on proton collisions at 13 trillion electron volts, shows that Einstein's "spooky action at a distance" persists at the most extreme energies ever tested in a laboratory.

Hosts the research team and scale-up analysis
More than 200 million children each year lose school time to disease, conflict and climate shocks. A five-country study in Nature shows a weekly phone call from a tutor kept primary students learning through COVID closures. Cost: about $11 per child.

Source of the demonstration; published the result in Nature Physics
Physicists at the University of Oxford have generated a quantum interaction that existed only on paper until now. Using a single trapped ion and two carefully tuned forces, the team produced 'quadsqueezing'—a fourth-order quantum-squeezing effect—more than 100 times faster than conventional methods predicted should be possible.
