The atmosphere for climate litigation in our Supreme Court is decidedly chilly. Some of its peers in other countries have taken a much different approach. US lawyers tend to be inward focused, adept at understanding our own legal system but largely unaware of developments elsewhere. Here, I want to briefly summarize some key rulings. Germany. In a pathbreaking opinion, the German Constitutional Court ordered the government to adopt much stricter emissions targets for 2030.

A manifestation of the Pauli exclusion principle in ultracold atomic gases has been spotted for the first time by three independent research groups. Called Pauli blocking, the effect was first predicted 30 years ago and occurs when fermionic atoms in a quantum gas are unable to make transitions to nearby quantum states. In the three experiments, Pauli blocking reduced the ability of atoms to scatter light, making the gases more transparent.

Last Saturday a tearful Alok Sharma brought down a hammer to declare the COP26 agreement adopted – but the frustration in Glasgow was palpable. Moments earlier, national representatives had queued up to express disappointment at India’s infamous last minute interjection to weaken the deal’s wording from “phase out” to “phase down” of coal. The sentiment was clear: why can’t India just get on with ditching the coal?

Owls mostly hunt at night when background noise levels can be low and potential prey have a better chance of hearing danger approaching. As a result, the birds have evolved structures on their wings that greatly reduce the noise owls make while flying. In this episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast, the engineer and owl expert Justin Jaworski talks about the aerodynamics of these wonderful creatures.
