This is an excellent read: Qubits 30 meters apart used to confirm Einstein was wrong about quantum.
Another terrific read: On the trail of the Dark Avenger: the most dangerous virus writer in the world.
From Wally, and it doesn't even seem that surprising: Recycling plastics might be making things worse. This is incredible: The History of TV in 22 Lots.
From C. Lee, and it's dark and tragic: First as Tragedy, Then as Fascism. Oops! Link Between Long Telomeres and Long Life Is a Tall Tale, Study Finds. Part of a general trend, it seems: Ikea’s Answer to Inflation? Make Things Flimsier. This is a remarkable story: The Long Forgotten Love Story of the Titanic’s Interracial Couple. A great read: How Are These Trees Floating Over a Finnish Road? This is a remarkably clever commercial: Australian lamb ad.
