Megalodon’s body size and shape reveal why certain aquatic vertebrates can achieve giants
Modified interim body outline for Otodus Megalodon, an extinct megatooth shark, at 24.3 meters (80 feet). Important notes: 1) The exact shape, size, and location of most fins remain unknown based on current fossil records. 2) Adult humans (Homo Sapiens) are drawn for size comparisons, but it must be emphasized that the two species do not coexist.

Super-resolution microscopes achieve nanometer resolution without traditional on/off switching
Use the diffraction maximum and minimum light to solve two inelastic point scatterers. Credit: Nature Physics (2025). doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02760-1 Overcoming resolution limitations with light microscopes at approximately half the wavelength of light (approximately 250 nanometers) is one of the most important developments in optics. Due to the nature of the light waves, even the best lenses cannot produce light spots smaller…

Researchers achieve calculation of Jones polynomial based on Majorana zero modes
Experimental setup. (a) A conventional quantum cooling circuit consists of two Hadamard gates (𝐻), a local phase gate (𝑅), and a controlled unitary gate (𝑈). Here, a cnot gate (marked with a red dashed line) is newly introduced to realize non-dissipative imaginary time evolution (ITE) during the braiding motions 𝜎1 and 𝜎−12, and a Sagnac interferometer ( SI) has been…
