As part of NASA’s fiscal year 2025 budget proposal released March 11, the agency said it was restructuring the Earth System Observatory line of missions. The missions are intended to collect data on “designated observables” identified by the Earth science decadal survey in 2018. Only GRACE-C is continuing largely unchanged in the proposal, which NASA officials say is due to budget pressures on NASA in general and Earth science in particular.

Brookhaven Lab scientists developed simulations to track quantum entanglement among secondary jets of particles emitted from high-energy particle collisions. In a recent example, theorists and computational scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaved Lab and Stony Brook University (SBU) developed quantum code to perform quantum calculations — and using it to track complex quantum systems. The study takes quantum back to its roots in seeking to explain the behavior of subatomic particles
