Protected area personnel and ranger numbers are insufficient to deliver global expectations
An apparently simple question about how many people work in the world's protected areas became a complex four-year investigation. The results have major implications for efforts to ensure conservation of at least 30 per cent of the planet.
Advantages of Rydberg many-body systems in metrology
By probing the microwave electric field, we have exhibited the advantages of the Rydberg many-body system at the critical point. We find that the Fisher information close to the criticality is enhanced by a factor more than 10^3 by comparing a non-interacting ensemble.
