Near a black hole, gravity changes a quantum circuit's readings, not its rules
Imagine holding one of our most precise quantum devices at a fixed position outside a black hole. A Josephson junction - two superconductors separated by an ultrathin barrier - can turn a voltage into a quantum oscillation with extraordinary precision. Would intense gravity change that quantum rule, or only change how a faraway observer reads the device?
The science section covers breakthroughs in medicine, physics, biology, and technology. We surface discoveries that expand what humanity can do, from new treatments reaching clinical trials to engineering feats that seemed impossible a decade ago. Every link goes to the original publisher so you can read the full study or press release yourself.
