Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-IN) might be wishing she had taken Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) advice not to hold town hall meetings after she got booed and cursed at a town hall event in Westfield, Indiana, on Friday. [...] People in the central Indiana towns shouted things like, “You’re a f**king liar!” and “Do your job!” at Spartz, who has made a name for herself as one of the more far-right members of Congress.

Scientists have long sought to unravel the mysteries of strange metals — materials that defy conventional rules of electricity and magnetism. Now, a team of physicists at Rice University has made a breakthrough in this area using a tool from quantum information science. Their study, published recently in Nature Communications, reveals that electrons in strange metals become more entangled at a crucial tipping point, shedding new light on the behavior of these enigmatic materials. The discovery could pave the way for advances in superconductors with the potential to transform energy use in the future.
