In new research, physicists have theorized a bold way to change it up by entangling two particles of very different kinds – a unit of light, or a photon, with a phonon, the quantum equivalent of a wave of sound.
Microplastics are superpervasive - getting into human tissue, ancient rock, and bottled water - but it may come as a shock to discover just how many of these tiny fragments can lurk inside a single tea bag.
The James Webb Space Telescope is celebrating three years from its launch. Its discoveries have already changed our understanding of the early universe.
