Researchers at CNR Nanotech in Italy have achieved a significant breakthrough in quantum physics by creating a superlido state using light for the first time. This discovery opens new avenues for exploring materials that exhibit both solid and superfluid characteristics. Historically, superlido states have only been observed in ultra-cold atomic gases, but this new study demonstrates that such phenomena can also occur in photonic systems. In quantum mechanics, unique states of matter emerge at temperatures approaching absolute zero, one of which flows without friction while retaining rigidity—a property theorized in the 1960s and confirmed experimentally only in 2017. The creation…
A Los Angeles County judge has ruled that Starbucks must pay $50 million in damages to Michael Garcia, who suffered severe burns from a hot tea spill during a drive-thru transaction in February 2020. Garcia, who was a 25-year-old postal driver at the time, claimed that two drinks fell from the cardboard carrier onto his lap, causing significant injuries, including burns to his genitals, which required multiple surgeries and resulted in permanent pain and sexual dysfunction. Garcia accused Starbucks of negligence, pointing to a security video that allegedly showed one of the drinks lacking a secure lid during the handoff.…
Legendary ESPN broadcaster Dick Vitale marked the conclusion of his basketball season after Duke’s victory in the ACC Tournament Championship Game. The 85-year-old broadcaster became emotional during his final broadcast, reflecting on his four-year battle with cancer and expressing gratitude to co-broadcasters and ESPN executives. He shared his hope for recovery, mentioning that doctors recommended a week of voice rest, and emphasized the importance of supporting fellow cancer patients.

A 43-year-old man from California drowned while snorkeling at Ka’aka’aniu beach in Kauai, highlighting the dangers that visitors face due to unfamiliar ocean conditions. The incident occurred around 12:30 PM when the man became separated from his friends underwater. Emergency responders found him unresponsive and brought him back to shore. The beach, known for its beauty, has a troubling history of drowning incidents involving visitors, largely due to its remote location, lack of resources and signage, and deceptive ocean conditions that can quickly become dangerous. Kauai officials recommend avoiding remote beaches without lifeguards, despite their popularity in guidebooks. Visitor reviews…
The article explores the mystical nature of human intuition, highlighting a story shared by Jessica Higgs, an Instacart grocery delivery worker, which went viral on TikTok.

The article critiques the common practice in the NFL of labeling new player contracts as “extensions” when, in reality, they are new contracts that replace existing ones. It argues that this terminology misrepresents the financial implications of these contracts, particularly the concept of “new money.” When a player receives a new contract that exceeds the duration of their current contract, it is often inaccurately claimed to be an extension. For instance, if a player originally has a two-year contract worth $5 million annually, and then signs a new four-year deal for $10 million per year, “new money” is often misstated.…
