Vienna is removing parking spaces across the city and replacing them with trees, bike lanes, and community gardens. The result? Car use dropped 37 percent while residents gained cooler, greener neighborhoods.
Physicists just shattered records by observing 7,000 sodium atoms acting as a wave instead of particles, bringing the bizarre quantum world into our visible reality. This breakthrough opens doors to studying biological molecules in ways never before possible.
Vienna is transforming hundreds of parking spaces into green parks, bike lanes, and community gardens—and residents are choosing cars 37% less than they did in the 1990s. The city is proving that giving people better options makes them happier to give up parking.
Scientists just cracked a puzzle that's stumped physicists for three decades: how to make quantum theories work better on computers. The breakthrough could transform how we understand everything from particle collisions to the Big Bang.
Physicists in Vienna just shattered records by putting clusters of 7,000 atoms into a quantum superposition, existing in multiple locations simultaneously. This breakthrough brings us closer to understanding where the quantum world ends and our everyday reality begins.
Researchers in Vienna created a breakthrough model showing social conflicts exist on a spectrum of overlapping opinions, not just opposing camps. The discovery could help us understand and reduce social friction in an increasingly divided world.
