This year quantum physics turns 100, so @nature.com decided to conduct the biggest ever survey of what lies behind it. Do physicists really believe in multiple universes? Can influences happen instantaneously? Is the Copenhagen interpretation all it's cut out to be? ⚛️🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Physicists disagree wildly on what quantum mechanics says about reality, Nature survey shows
First major attempt to chart researchers’ views finds interpretations in conflict.

What if we could integrate, play with, and control lab hardware as easily as we do software?
Thrilled to have sat down with @rickwierenga.bsky.social of @pylabrobot.bsky.social to learn how the movement he's leading is enabling more scientists, hackers, and startups to “ship science”!
