David Gross, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, has said the chances that humanity survives another 50 years are very low. The French science magazine Science et Vie published his warning, and it is circulating widely in French-speaking online discussions. Gross, honoured for work on quantum chromodynamics, did not detail the specific risks behind his stark assessment.

Researchers report that a quantum simulator has captured a strange process capable of breaking quark strings, the bonds that hold quarks together inside particles. The experiment offers a way to observe string-breaking, a phenomenon in quantum chromodynamics that is otherwise out of reach for classical computers and conventional particle accelerators. Physicists say such simulations could deepen understanding of how matter behaves under extreme conditions.
