Announce Type: replace Abstract: This perspective provides a succinct history of Fermi's golden rule (FGR), overview of its derivation, assumptions, and representative forms. Major applications of FGR, mostly in the field of chemical physics, are reviewed. These illustrate the broad applicability and success of FGR.

arXiv:2603.28373v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This perspective provides a succinct history of Fermi's golden rule (FGR), overview of its derivation, assumptions, and representative forms. Major applications of FGR, mostly in the field of chemical physics, are reviewed. These illustrate the broad applicability and success of FGR. Ambiguities and open issues encountered in practical applications of FGR are clarified. Recent advances in generalizations of FGR and computational methods for practical applications are addressed.

Worker bees build a 'royal palace' for the honeybee queen June 10 : Honeybee queens come from the same ordinary fertilized female eggs as worker bees. So how does one bee become a queen - with the responsibility of serving as the colony's only baby maker - rather than just another worker? Until now, scientists believed it was solely because the chosen bee was served a special diet.
