Katherine Skipper
The shortage of physics teachers in England has led the government to set up a new apprenticeship scheme that it hopes will help encourage more people into the profession. But with high workloads and low pay causing many teachers to quit, Katherine Skipper asks if this latest scheme will be enough to fix the issue.

Researchers have trapped ions with static magnetic and electric fields instead of an oscillating electromagnetic field, which could make it easier to use ions as building blocks for quantum computers.
研究人员用静态磁场和电场而不是振荡电磁场困住了离子，这可能使离子更容易用作量子计算机的构件。

Nanofluidics could be used to purify water, generate energy and build nanoscale machines. But when water flows through a carbon nanotube, classical fluid mechanics breaks down, leading to puzzling experimental findings that researchers have attributed to an effect called “quantum friction”, as Philip Ball explains.
