#newFromMe: a wild, very wrong new paper claims to show a unified theory of physics. experts say "wrong" is the nicest version of what it is -- it could even have been AI generated. how do papers like this make it into "peer reviewed" (elsevier) journals? and who's writing them?
No, There’s Not a New Unified Theory of Physics
It was always too good to be true.

#newFromMe: A new study looks at a less understood way for a superconducting material to work. This type can operate at much higher* temperatures (* slightly less absolute zero temperatures haha)
