New way to charge batteries harnesses the power of ‘indefinite causal order’
In the classical world, if you tried to charge a battery using two chargers, you would have to do so in sequence, limiting the available options to just two possible…

Researchers observe a hallmark quantum behavior in bouncing droplets
MIT mathematicians tracked a droplet as it bounced through a structure inspired by the theoretical “quantum bomb test.” The shows the droplet’s trajectories when the “bomb” is present, and the…
Advisory panel issues field-defining recommendations for investments in particle physics research
Newswise — Yesterday marked the release of a highly anticipated report from the Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel (P5), unveiling an exciting new roadmap for unlocking the secrets of the…
Advisory Panel Issues Field-Defining Recommendations for U.S. Government Investments in Particle Physics Research
The following news release on the 2023 Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel (P5) report is based on one issued today by the American Physical Society (APS) with added content specific to the U.S. Department…
A superconducting junction made from a single 2D material promises to harness strange new physics
A schematic image showing a Josephson junction (central section) made from a single layer of tungsten telluride. The red spheres are electron with spin up, while the blue ones have…
Diamond quantum sensors measure neuron activity
Schematic of the sensor operation (not to scale), where green laser light directed to subsurface colour centres (NV) in the diamond enables recording of magnetic field arising from compound action…
