**Physicists Discover a Fundamental Limit to Electrical Resistance** By University of Toronto - Published on 29 June 2026 A quantum simulation found a ceiling on resistivity caused by electron collisions. Every time electricity flows through a wire, some of its energy is inevitably lost as heat because electrons collide with one another and with the material around them. But just how much can these collisions increase electrical resistance? A new study suggests there [...] Read more: #Physics #QuantumPhysics #ElectricalResistance #Resistivity #ElectronCollisions #Physics #CondensedMatter #MaterialsScience

**Scientists Discover Why the Same Volcano Erupted in Two Completely Different Ways** By David Nutt, Cornell University - Published on 28 June 2026 Mount Etna’s past eruptions reveal that a single volcano can erupt through very different underground pathways. Volcanic plumbing systems can stretch deep underground and form highly complicated networks. Yet even within a single volcano, those internal pathways do not always operate the same way. A collaboration led by Cornell found that two historic eruptions of [...] Read more: #Volcano #Eruption #Geology #EarthScience #Volcanology #Earth #CornellUniversity #Geochemistry
