The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced Tuesday that three scientists won this year’s Nobel Prize in physics for “pioneering quantum information science. The academy said Alain Aspect of France, John Clauser of the United States and Anton Zeilinger of Austria each carried out “groundbreaking experiments using entangled quantum states, where two particles behave like a single unit even when they are separated.” Their work made it possible for the development of new technology, the academy said. “Quantum information science is a vibrant and rapidly developing field,” said Eva Olsson, a member of the Nobel committee. “It has broad and

Australian scientists are harnessing the power of Artificial Intelligence in the fight against wildlife trafficking. The technique uses 3-Dimensional X-rays at airports and post offices to detect animals being smuggled in luggage or the mail, and algorithms then alert customs officers. This technology uses artificial intelligence to identify the shapes of animals being trafficked. Australia has a rich diversity of flora and fauna, which has fueled an illegal trade in wildlife.
