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…
