The silent ‘blima’ of an Egyptian mummy could have been fixed after death
An ancient Egyptian mummy, dubbed the “Screaming Woman” for what appears to be an open-mouthed look of pain or fear, may have had that expression fixed in place by a rare muscle reaction when she died. The sudden muscle stiffness associated with violent deaths under extreme physical and emotional stress, known as cadaveric spasm, may […]

Physicists measured the rotation of the Earth using quantum entanglement
The rotation of the Earth has been measured many times – but never like this. At first, scientists used entangled quantum particles called photons to detect the speed at which the globe spins. The achievement is a step toward investigating one of physics’ greatest mysteries: how the tiny world of quantum physics interacts with gravity. […]
