Water dropped in the deep end Nat. Phys. (IF 17.6) Pub Date : 2024-07-16 Debarchan Das
But what happens to the vast amount of water attached to a slab that descends to the Earth’s core? Yutaro Tsutsumi and colleagues have now answered that question. Their experimental results suggest that the water does not escape from the slabs at the base of the mantle, as commonly thought, even at high temperatures and pressures (Y. Tsutsumi et al. Nat. Geosci. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41561-024-01464-8;

Polar rain Nat. Phys. (IF 17.6) Pub Date : 2024-07-16 Stefanie Reichert
A much rarer sight are so-called polar rain aurorae. They are caused by streams of electrons travelling directly from the surface of the Sun along open magnetic field lines to the polar caps. As these events are scarce and the emissions are weak, little is known about their spatial structure and dynamical characteristics. Keisuke Hosokawa and colleagues have now observed a polar rain aurora (K. Hosokawa

The kernel of thermodynamics Nat. Phys. (IF 17.6) Pub Date : 2024-07-16 Mark Buchanan
As observed in a recent special issue on the topic (see P. G. Debenedetti et al. J. Chem. Phys. 160, 100401; 2024), Gibbs' paper also offered the thermodynamic basis for the first thinking about nucleation — the basic process by which a new and more stable crystalline phase of a substance forms from a bulk liquid, for example ice forming in super-cooled water. The most widely employed theory based

Human intelligence is not computable Nat. Phys. (IF 17.6) Pub Date : 2024-06-14 Mark Buchanan
To define his dynamical system, Penrose imagined a phase space of states defined by the different sets of polygons. The system moves between these states using two different rules, one rule holding if the answer to the tiling problem for the current state is ‘yes’, and another holding if the answer is ‘no’. This particular definition isn’t important. The point of Penrose’s construction was to demonstrate

Less sound makes swimming sound Nat. Phys. (IF 17.6) Pub Date : 2024-06-13 Karen Mudryk
Predators sense flow perturbations and acoustic waves, and fish generate noise when they swim, owing to the hydrodynamic pressure forces on their bodies. In a school, the surface pressure experienced by individual fish is affected by flow changes induced by their swimming companions. Moreover, the sounds produced by each member of the group can interfere with each other and change the net sound generated

As quantum technologies — such as quantum computers, pictured — get closer to widespread commercial application, industry will require a workforce that understands the principles of quantum mechanics and is equipped to apply them.

Underground quantum criticality is hot right now Nat. Phys. (IF 17.6) Pub Date : 2024-06-13 Richard Brierley
Much research on quantum criticality has focused on studying unconventional materials at low temperatures. Now, Wai-Ga Ho and co-workers have predicted that iron oxide in the Earth’s lower mantle may be quantum critical at temperatures exceeding 2000 kelvin (Nat. Commun. 15, 3461; 2024). Transition metal oxides like iron (II) oxide, FeO, often exhibit strongly correlated electronic behaviour. They
