Birds like puffins are dying in alarming numbers owing to climate change, suggests researchers. Birds like puffins are dying in alarming numbers owing to climate change, suggests researchers. Tufted puffins breeding in the Bering Sea, off the coast of Alaska, feed on fish and marine invertebrates, which in turn feed on ocean plankton. Elevation of sea temperatures has led to major changes in ocean ecosystems and has been linked to previous mass mortality events in marine birds.

08 Jun 2019: Development in Schrodinger’s Cat Phenomenon: Big Leap in Quantum Computing. A new study which was conducted on qubits—the artificial atoms that contain quantum information- says that quantum jumps are neither abrupt nor as random as thought previously. The new study ventured to find out the actual workings of a quantum jump for the first time. What the results reveal is surprising—it says that quantum jumps are neither abrupt nor as random as thought previously. The study was conducted on qubits—the artificial atoms that contain quantum information. These jumps occur every time we measure a qubit. Quantum jumps are known to be unpredictable in the long run. Despite that, we wanted to know if it would be possible to get an advance warning signal that a jump is about to occur imminently. The scientists developed a special approach to indirectly monitor a superconducting artificial atom, with three microwave generators irradiating the atom confined in a 3D aluminium cavity. The artificial atom has the quantum information. Their monitoring method allowed them to observe the atom with unprecedented efficiency. The microwave radiation on the other hand, stirs the artificial atom resulting in quantum jumps while it is being monitored simultaneously. The quantum signal of the jumps could be monitored in real time. This set up enabled the physicists to see a sudden absence of photon detection—this tiny absence is an advance warning of a quantum jump of the atom. But qubits, which have quantum characters, exist in more than one state at a time as observed. The quantum jumps of these qubits, as thought earlier, are random and as a result quantum computation can have more than one outcome. This was a fundamental problem in the world of quantum computing. The new experiment succeeds in not only predicting an imminent quantum jump, but also means that one can reverse it to stop unwanted outcomes.

11 Jun. 2019: MASSIVE CRATER OF THE MOON: When it comes to the South Pole-Aitken basin, the topography is particularly striking. The feature is a massive crater stretching 1,240 miles (2,000 km) across the far side of the moon, making it the largest crater planetary scientists know of to date. As the name implies, it's located near the south pole of the moon as well, and experts believe it was created perhaps 4 billion years ago. So when the team saw an increase in the gravitational tug of the moon roughly lining up with the neighbourhood of the South Pole-Aitken basin, the scientists wondered if the anomaly could trace directly back to the crater itself. "One of the explanations of this extra mass is that the metal from the asteroid that formed this crater is still embedded in the moon's mantle". Another possible explanation for the anomaly, the researchers wrote, is that the area is rich in oxides, which likely would have formed as the moon's ancient magma ocean cooled and solidified.
