Brescia physicists built a wide-field microscope that uses ultrashort laser pulses to map electron interactions over femtoseconds. They propose it for finding flaws that limit solar cells and LEDs, but so far it has been shown on a single device a few atomic layers thick.

String-breaking, the moment a stretched bond between two building blocks of matter snaps and new particles appear, has now been observed on a trapped-ion quantum simulator at Duke. Two other groups saw it on different hardware.

Confidential computing never promised memory freshness. DDRop turns that omission into arbitrary access inside a TDX guest, using a board that costs under $200 and two prerequisites a cloud provider already holds.

Experiments at Liege and KU Leuven reproduced Mercury's core formation and produced a graphite crust 40 to 120 metres thick above a core holding under 0.5% carbon, far too little to explain the planet's density deficit.

A KU Leuven and Valladolid team gave 18 commercial colonies a choice of robotic flowers, and only the ones exposed to a larva-killing fungus learned to prefer the antimicrobial nectar, though the study did not measure whether that preference actually helps the colony.
