Dear Reader,
Chinese authorities have shut down all travel into and out of Wuhan, where the coronavirus likely originated, and about a dozen other cities. Experts are split on whether China's travel bans, which restrict the movements of around 35 million people will be effective and fair to residents. In Australia, indigenous communities and archaeologists fear thousands of historic Aboriginal sites and artifacts have been destroyed by the extreme fires that have ravaged large swaths of the country. And lastly, scientists look into how humans decide whether or not to cooperate with robots. |

FROM THE STORE | Extreme Physics Physicists are pushing into the extreme ends of the universe as we know it—from invisible particles and colliding massive black holes to the most crushing gravitational forces ever detected and spooky quantum entanglement. The 14-billion-year-old tale of our universe is far from over, and in this eBook, we examine a wave of discovery and take a new look at old ideas. Editor's Note: This Collector's Edition was published as Extreme Physics. The eBook adaptation contains all of the articles, but some of the artwork has been removed to optimize viewing on tablet devices. | | | |
