new book about medicine history, "droplets" theory etc
"Science writer Carl Zimmer’s latest book is a brilliant history of medicine that takes us from Louis Pasteur’s germ theory of the 19th century to present day. Along the way, it offers an anthropological study of medical culture — a culture capable of ignoring science when it wants to. ...
"If COVID-19 spread in droplets, then it was worthwhile to keep people two metres apart, to put up plexiglas barriers around checkout stands, and make supermarket aisles one-way. Sanitizing countertops could break the chain of infection.
"But if COVID-19 was airborne, all those measures were pointless."
Bit of an exaggeration in that part of the article. The 2m distance does put you outside the densest clouds of exhaled breath, and sanitising countertops helps against other diseases. But yeah. A lot of effort wrongly expended due to the prevailing myth.

Chiral Symmetries and Multiparticle Entanglement
Bosons and fermions are defined by their exchange properties and the underlying symmetries determine the structure of the corresponding state spaces. For two particles there are two possible exchange symmetries, resulting in symmetric or antisymmetric behaviour, but when exploring multiparticle systems also quantum states with chiral symmetries appear. In this work we demonstrate that chiral symmetries lead to extremal forms of quantum entanglement. More precisely, we show that subspaces with t…

Asymmetric Diffusion of Chiral Skyrmions
Brownian dynamics of chiral matter in chiral environment may give rise to emergent phenomena that could not be observed in achiral environment. Here, we report the asymmetric diffusion of chiral skyrmions in two chambers separated by a chiral gate. The topology-determined Brownian gyromotion of skyrmions could lead to effective interactions between skyrmions and chamber walls with a sense of clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation. By fabricating a chiral gate separating two chambers, skyrmions…

The QCD scalar susceptibility and thermal scalar resonances in chiral symmetry restoration

The QCD scalar susceptibility and thermal scalar resonances in chiral symmetry restoration
Building upon recent results on the role of thermal resonances in chiral symmetry restoration, we show that a description of the QCD scalar susceptibility at finite temperature $T$ saturated by the thermal properties of the lightest scalar resonance, the $f_0(500)$, is compatible both with lattice QCD data at nonzero $T$ and with the $T=0$ light resonance properties coming from experimental data. The thermal $f_0(500)$ is generated within the framework of Unitarized Chiral Perturbation Theory. …
