Understanding how the phenomenon of 'crackling noise' occurs at the microscopic scale could have implications for new research in materials science and medicine. Scientists from UNSW Sydney and the University of Cambridge have used novel methods to listen to the sounds of atoms moving under pressure - a phenomenon known as 'crackling noise'. These atomic movements occur in avalanches - they are similar to snow avalanches, but made of atoms - and follow very well-defined statistical rules. Crackling noise can be observed every day, from crumpling paper and candy wrapping, to the crackling of your cereal, as well as in natural occurrences, such as earthquakes.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Finance Minister Christian Lindner are thrashing out a plan to close a €20 billion shortfall in the 2024 budget with expenditure cuts in all departments except defence - a move which risks angering their coalition partners, the Greens. Scholz and Lindner have agreed to spending reductions of 2% to 3% for almost all ministries, people familiar with the plans said, speaking on condition of anonymity. That's enough to deliver about half of the savings required, but they are still to decide on how to find the rest of the money.
