I used the majority of my leave from public school to go. I see my perfume business supporting me, and if I'm still teaching, I'll use that money to pay for travel and investments.

☆ Nuclear clocks could surpass precision of atomic ones

For this nuclear clock, the scientists used ultraviolet light to excite nuclear particles in an atom of thorium-229 embedded in solid crystal. For decades, atomic clocks have been used in GPS technologies, for space exploration and for keeping international time. The study of physics itself could be revolutionized by using nuclear clocks alongside atomic clocks, according to Zhang. “If the nuclear clock and the atomic clock transition frequency ratio is changing over time, it would be an indication of new physics.”Though there is still much progress to be made before nuclear clocks surpass the performance of atomic clocks — or replace them — these findings hint that such a time isn’t far off, Kolkowitz said. “As better UV laser sources are developed and as some of the mysteries and tricks of nuclear clocks get worked out, I expect that eventually some of the kinds of experiments we are currently doing in my lab to test relativity and search for new physics with atomic clocks will instead be performed with nuclear clocks,” Kolkowitz said.

These are just some of the highlights of “Indigenous Histories,” an absorbing new show recently opened at Norway’s Kode Bergen Art Museum. Andreas Harvik/National Museum/Courtesy Kode Bergen Art Museum“Indigenous Histories” corresponds with fresh thinking about what is and what isn’t fine art. This piece "Oaivemozit/ Galskap/ Madness," from 2013 is part of the Sámi Dáiddamagasiidna (Sámi Art Collection). Sámi Art Collection/Courtesy Kode Bergen Art MuseumAlong with the vibrant color and cultural dynamism, there is righteous anger and political outrage on view, as artists grapple with the legacy of colonial oppression.

REUTERS/Jane Lanhee LeeSept 28 (Reuters) - Atom Computing, a Berkeley, California-based quantum computer maker, said on Wednesday it would invest $100 million over the next three years in Colorado where it plans to build its next generation of quantum computers. It is the latest quantum computing startup to build out its base in Boulder, Colorado. The state started to boost its involvement in quantum computing about two years ago, said Colorado's governor, Jared Polis, who attended Wednesday's Atom Computing event in Boulder. Atom Computing uses lasers to control individual atoms and build qubits, the basic unit of quantum information.

☆ Zona radioactivă de la Cernobîl, prosperă pentru o specie de cai sălbatici

Autorităţile ucrainene susţin că această zonă de excludere, contaminată radioactiv din jurul centralei nucleare nu va fi sigură pentru oameni timp de 24.000 de ani. Ea se dovedeşte însă prosperă pentru o specie de cai sălbatici în pericol de dispariţie. După dezastru, zona a devenit un paradis pentru elani, lupi dar şi pentru o specie de cai sălbatici originară din Asia, denumită calul lui Przewalski. În prezent, în zona de excludere din jurul centralei nucleare trăiesc 150 de astfel de cai sălbatici, iar alţi aproximativ 60 de cai trăiesc peste graniţă, în Belarus. „În mod paradoxal, a fost vorba de o oportunitate unică de a conserva biodiversitatea”, a mai susţinut Vişnevski.

Experimentul desfăşurat în Ucraina a fost oprit la un moment dat, însă caii au rămas liberi în regiune şi au prosperat. „În mod paradoxal, a fost vorba de o oportunitate unică de a conserva biodiversitatea”, a mai susţinut Vişnevski.
