An international research team led by Lund University in Sweden has managed to study the flight behaviour of the mysterious black swift. They found, among other things, that the black swift rises to extreme heights during a full moon, seemingly catching insects in the moonlight. And, during a lunar eclipse, the birds simultaneously lost altitude. The results are published in Current Biology. The b

In a new study published in Science Advances, researchers Gabriele Cobucci and Armin Tavakoli present a new method to analyze a complex form of quantum entanglement involving multiple particles. The new method opens a door to a deeper understanding of quantum mechanics, a field known for its strange and often counterintuitive phenomena. Quantum entanglement, where particles are coupled together so
