Scientists describe 20.75C logged at Seymour Island as ‘incredible and
abnormal’ The Antarctic has registered a temperature of more than 20C
(68F) for the first time in history, prompting fears of climate
instability in the world’s greatest repository of ice. The 20.75C logged
by Brazilian scientists at Seymour Island on 9 February was almost a
full degree higher than the previous record of 19.8C
A research station on an island in the Antarctic recorded a new
record-high temperature for the region — less than a week after the
temperature record was shattered on the Antarctic continent . It was 69
degrees Fahrenheit in the Antarctic on Sunday. Brazilian scientists
venture out to the remote Seymour Island every few days to take a

A
research team led by professors from the University of Pittsburgh
Department of Physics and Astronomy has announced the discovery of a new
electronic state of matter.
A
team of researchers affiliated with several institutions in China has
succeeded in sending entangled quantum memories over a 50-kilometer
coiled fiber cable. In their paper published in the journal Nature, the
group describes several experiments they conducted involving entangling
quantum memory over long distances, the challenges they overcame, and
problems still to be addressed.
Data
from NASA's New Horizons mission are providing new insights into how
planets and planetesimals -- the building blocks of the planets -- were
formed.
