Twenty-three thousand. According to computer scientist Katie Bouman , that is how many people were involved in creating the first ever image of a black hole, taken by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) in 2019. Not all of these contributors are formally members of the EHT collaboration (whose numbers are in the hundreds) – the vast majority are those who write, maintain and support the free and open-source software tools that the researchers used in their work.

The ability to trap charged particles and cool them down to a fraction of a degree above absolute zero is key to many tests of fundamental physics, including probes of any asymmmetry between matter and antimatter. To reach lower temperatures more quickly, physicists in Germany and Japan have now shown how to extract heat from a single proton via a superconducting circuit connected to a cloud of laser-cooled ions several centimetres away – a technique, they say, that could easily be applied to an

It’s not hard to fall in love with the ocean in California. You can drive for 600+ miles with endless ocean vistas on the Pacific Coast Highway or wake up early in the morning to explore tidepools teaming with life. You can see elephant seals and sea otters enjoying the same coastal habitats you return to again and again. It’s not surprising that most Californians are concerned about plastics polluting the beaches and ocean they love.

Labor Day is a good time to talk about an important topic: the impact of environmental protection on jobs. This is a clearly a fraught issue. In support of his deregulation campaign, President Trump promised to “cancel every needless job-killing regulation and put a moratorium on new regulations until our economy gets back on its feet.” Biden, on the other hand, has said that “creating jobs and tackling climate change go hand in hand.”.
