Cutting-edge simulations show that Enceladus' plumes are losing 20-40% less mass than earlier estimates suggested. The new models provide sharper insights into subsurface conditions that future landers may one day probe directly.
Scientists built a tiny clock from single-electron jumps to probe the true energy cost of quantum timekeeping. They discovered that reading the clock's output requires vastly more energy than the clock uses to function. This measurement process also ...
