➀ University of Bath physicists lead a team that has made a significant breakthrough in nanotechnology, enabling control over single-molecule chemical reactions. This has profound implications for fundamental scientific understanding and could transform the development of new medications. ➁ The research, published in Nature Communications, uses a scanning tunnelling microscope to control the probability of reaction outcomes by selectively manipulating charge states and resonances. ➂ The findings could lead to new frontiers in molecular manufacturing, with potential applications in medicine, clean energy, and beyond.

➀ Google introduces the Willow quantum chip, capable of computations in under five minutes that would take supercomputers 10 septillion years. ➁ The chip's development began over a decade ago, led by Google Quantum AI Founder Hartmut Neven. ➂ Willow's performance on this benchmark is astonishing, performing a computation in under five minutes that would take one of today's fastest supercomputers 10 septillion years.

➀ Researchers explore the interplay between entanglement and 'magic' in quantum states. ➁ They identify two phases: entanglement-dominated and magic-dominated. ➂ The study has implications for quantum error correction and many-body physics.

➀ The 1932 Copenhagen meeting marked a pivotal moment in the development of quantum mechanics, involving key figures like Niels Bohr, Paul Dirac, Werner Heisenberg, and Lise Meitner. ➁ Quantum mechanics emerged from collaborative efforts rather than individual contributions, unlike Einstein's theory of relativity. ➂ The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, while revolutionary, was not universally accepted and faced ongoing debates among its creators. ➃ The personal lives and interactions of these physicists played a significant role in shaping the scientific discourse and their contributions to quantum theory.

1. Researchers from the University of Basel have developed a new method to measure the exchange energy in molybdenum disulfide, a 2D material. 2. This method involves exciting the material with a laser and analyzing the emitted spectral lines to determine the energy required to flip an electron spin. 3. The findings indicate that molybdenum disulfide exhibits highly stable ferromagnetism, similar to iron.
