The exercise that ‘will increase your chances of living into your 90s and 100s’

The author and National Geographic fellow shared on Instagram that “gardening is much better than joining any gym”

The explorer and educator, 63, dubbed the outdoor activity as “the best longevity exercise you could do”

Buettner has become well known for his research into five “blue” zones across the world where inhabitants regularly live well into their old age.

Physicists coax molecules into exotic quantum state — ending decades-long quest

The results are “fantastic”, says Yan. They will “really inspire and stimulate the rest of the cold-molecules community”

Exotic phases

Molecular Bose–Einstein condensates could be used in myriad ways. One possibility, says Valtolina, is to create exotic supersolid phases, in which a rigid material flows without resistance. So far this has been achieved only in atomic gases with magnetic interactions — it could now be done in polar molecules, whose interactions are “way stronger”, he says.
