Quantum physics just got real: creating entanglement on demand
Quantum physics often challenges what we know about the world, and one of its most mind-boggling ideas is entanglement. It has puzzled scientists but could lead to game-changing technologies such as quantum computers and secure communication. Researchers recently made a big leap by figuring out how to create entangled particles on demand, making quantum systems more reliable. This breakthrough could bring us closer to everyday uses of quantum technology, transforming how we compute and communicate.
Obesity – people’s own fault or something they cannot change?
Obesity is one of the greatest burdens for health systems because it leads to cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Research shows that both genetics and environment influence people’s weight, but obesity is not classified as a disease because most people still believe that overweight is self-inflicted. Experts believe that categorizing obesity as a disease may be the key to tackling the crisis, whereas others believe that medicalizing obesity removes responsibility from people who are overweight
