Seismic tomography reveals a massive, 8–15 km-deep magma reservoir beneath Tuscany containing more than 5,000 km3 of melt—comparable to Yellowstone’s magma chambers—yet with no eruption history. The system could host supercritical fluids above 500°C, offering insights for geothermal energy and mineral deposits while informing crustal evolution studies.
Physicists have reconstructed the full state of a quantum liquid, consisting of ultracold atoms trapped on an atom chip, by observing how their fluctuations spread over time. The breakthrough offers promise for technological advancement in quantum computing and quantum sensors. The research team performed a tomography of a quantum system, creating two "copies" of the system and revealing the two copies' correlations to infer the initial quantum state of the system and extract its properties.
