    phenomena that cannot be observed in the every-day world. For example, the individual atoms in a Bose-Einstein condensate are completely delocalized. This means that the same atom exists at each point within the condensate at any given time. Two years ago, the research group led by Francesca Ferlaino from the Department of Experimental Physics at the University of Innsbruck and the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information at the Austrian Academy of Sciences in ...

    In quantum mechanics, not even time flows as you might expect it to

    direction (the toothpaste coming out of or going back into the tube), it results that quantum systems can also find themselves evolving simultaneously along both temporal directions. Although this idea seems rather nonsensical when applied to our day-to-day experience, at its most fundamental level, the laws of the universe are based on quantum-mechanical principles. This begs the question of why we never encounter these superpositions of time flows in nature. “In our work, ...

Ulrich Elling: First of all, community immunity has been waning again for some time. To be able to maintain community immunity in Austria, if we assume immunity lasts for a year, an average of 25,000 people would have to be infected every day.

Now, the research group of Nicolas Rivron at IMBA – Institute of Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences uncovered basic principles of early development using blastoids. Blastoids are in vitro models of the blastocyst, the mammalian embryo in the first few days following fertilization. These embryo models were first developed by the Rivron lab from mouse stem cells ( Nature , 2018) and then from ...
