Multipartitism counts amongst the weirdest lifestyles found in the virosphere. Multipartite viruses have genomes segmented in pieces enclosed in different capsids that are independently transmitted.

A recent study has realized multipartite entanglement on an optical chip for the first time, constituting a significant advance for scalable quantum information. The paper, titled "Continuous-variable ...

Recently, Prof. LI Chuanfeng, Prof. HUANG Yunfeng, Prof. CHEN Geng, and their colleagues from Prof. GUO Guangcan's group at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese ...

Schrödinger introduced the term ‘steering’ to describe the ‘spooky action-at-a-distance’ nonlocality apparent in the EPR paradox 1, and pointed out that these states involve a quantum property called ...

Neither living nor non-living, viruses are generally strange. Among viruses, multipartite viruses are among the most peculiar—their genome is not packed into many particles rather than one.

For a virus, a compact genome neatly packaged in a coat of proteins, survival is all about invading a cell, taking over the protein-making machinery to replicate itself and then spreading to other ...

Multipartite viruses have a strange lifestyle. Their genome is split up into different viral particles that, in principle, propagate independently. Completing the replication cycle, however, requires ...

Being in between living and non-living, viruses are, in general, strange. Among viruses, multipartite viruses are among the most peculiar -- their genome is not packed into one, but many, particles.
