Antarctic ice shelves are prone to slush Forward this email View in your browser THE WEEK IN PHYSICS: 8–12 JULY Advertisement The most advanced AFM for 200 mm samples Park Systems pioneers a new era in nanoscale imaging with an advanced solution for 200 mm samples. It offers low noise, minimal thermal drift, and exceptional stability. Enhanced Z servo performance and comprehensive automation make it ideal for both research and industrial applications, simplifying precise nanoscale imaging and analysis. Learn more. Deep-sea comb jellies' cells are primed to withstand pressure Jellies' lipids have structures that aid survival in their native environments. Jennifer Sieben Antarctic ice shelves are prone to slush A new analysis suggests that researchers have been underestimating the amount of meltwater sitting atop Antarctica's floating glacial ice. Andrew Grant FROM THE VAULT: October 1991 Decoherence and the transition from quantum to classical The environment surrounding a quantum system can, in effect, monitor some of the system's observables. As a result, the eigenstates of those observables continuously decohere and can behave like classical states. Wojciech H.
