John Kerry Pledges to Reduce Emissions from Cooling Equipment to Fight Climate Change
John Kerry, the U.S. Special Envoy for Climate, has committed to slashing the nation's emissions from cooling-related products in the battle against man-made global warming. Kerry made this announcement at the annual United Nations climate change summit, COP28, where the U.S. joined more than 60 other nations in the Global Cooling Pledge. The pledge aims to reduce cooling-related emissions by at least 68% by 2050 compared to 2022 levels.

Unlocking the Quantum Realm: A New Tool for Uncharted Phenomena
Researchers at the University of Innsbruck and the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) have developed a new approach to studying and understanding entanglement in quantum materials. Through advancements in ion trap quantum simulators, they were able to recreate a real material in a controlled laboratory environment and observe effects that were previously only described theoretically. The researchers also discovered that temperature profiles can be used as a shortcut to determine the degree of entanglement in quantum systems. These findings open up new horizons in quantum physics and provide a powerful tool for studying large-scale entanglement in quantum matter.
