Why Schrödinger's 1944 classic What Is Life? still feels prescient

New Scientist - Space - Wed, 08/07/2026 - 16:00
Pioneer of quantum mechanics Erwin Schrödinger's look at living organisms is one of the most influential popular-science books of the 20th century. So how does it hold up today, asks Karmela Padavic-Callaghan

Lambs born via IVF using highly immature eggs in major breakthrough

New Scientist - Space - Wed, 08/07/2026 - 14:28
Lambs have been born using an experimental form of IVF that coaxes immature eggs to become mature ones. This could boost the number of eggs available for fertilisation and improve IVF success rates

How extreme heat affects the body – and the best ways to cope

New Scientist - Space - Wed, 08/07/2026 - 10:00
A short spell in a heat chamber at the University of Brighton showed Alec Luhn that his body is not adapted to high temperatures – but regular exposure can train the body to respond more effectively

Peter Shor’s algorithm could break the internet – but he's not worried

New Scientist - Space - Tue, 07/07/2026 - 21:00
Few people have invented an algorithm with the potential to spark a worldwide crisis, so why is quantum computing pioneer Peter Shor so unconcerned? Karmela Padavic-Callaghan spoke to him to find out

Does time come from the entire universe running computations?

New Scientist - Space - Tue, 07/07/2026 - 21:00
Explaining the passage of time has been a gnarly problem in physics basically forever, but physicist and computer scientist Stephen Wolfram has a radical proposal for where it comes from. He discussed his ideas on time – and what they mean for free will – with reporter Leah Crane

The strange metals forcing us to rethink how electricity really works

New Scientist - Space - Tue, 07/07/2026 - 19:00
Some 40 years ago, physicists noticed certain metals were conducting electricity in a bizarre way no one could explain. New answers to how and why this happens are forcing us to question how electricity flows

Chris Packham: 'I'd throw myself in front of a T. Rex to be consumed'

New Scientist - Space - Tue, 07/07/2026 - 15:00
As Chris Packham gears up for his new TV show, Evolution, he tells Penny Sarchet why understanding the latest evolutionary science is so important if we are to truly appreciate the natural world - and how he would happily die at the hands of a Tyrannosaurus rex
