Protons reveal universal phenomenon of maximal entanglement
A photon inside a proton can collide with a temporary complex of gluons, whose color charges (here shown in red, green and blue) can be collectively neutralized. Credit: IFJ PAN…
Higher measurement accuracy opens new window to the quantum world
Several innovations in the new sample rod including sample holder enable temperature measurements with the highest precision. Credit: D. Kojda/HZB A team at HZB has developed a new measurement method…
Physicists show how to detect higher-order topological insulators
One-dimensional surface hinge states characteristic of HOTIs. Researchers have shown how to detect HOTIs without observing such hinge states. Credit: The Grainger College of Engineering at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign…
Forget about being clean, embrace mess
Within a dense system some terbium ions form pair states. Because of their unique properties, these pairs are blind to the single terbium ions nearby that would cause them to…
First direct imaging of tiny noble gas clusters at room temperature

Generating stable qubits at room temperature
Incorporating a chromophore in a metal-organic framework suppressed the molecular motion sufficiently to maintain the quantum coherence of the quintet state for more than 100 nanoseconds. Credit: Nobuhiro Yanai A…
