A tabletop experiment using a classical water vortex supports a decades-old theory describing the decay of turbulence in quantum fluids. Figure 1: A numerical simulation of a quantized vortex in a ...

A hallmark property of unconventional superconductivity has been discovered in a type-I superconductor, whereas it’s normally observed only in type-II materials. Superconductors can be broadly ...

Contrary to expectations, the magnetization dynamics of a ferromagnet can be accelerated by increasing temperature, laser excitation, or magnetic field—a behavior that holds promise for high-speed ...

A new model shows how cells could optimize biochemical sensing by balancing information gained against energy spent. A cell never senses its environment directly. Instead, it receives a noisy stream ...

Increasing the charging rate of a quantum battery leads to unavoidable fluctuations in the total energy stored. A quantum battery exploits quantum correlations between its component cells to achieve ...

Researchers demonstrate a new quantum memory device that will enable faraway nodes in a network to coordinate in time, a key ingredient for a future quantum Internet. To sustain delicate light-based ...

A proposed lab-based quantum sensor could precisely measure within seconds the warping of spacetime caused by Earth’s rotation. Einstein’s theory of general relativity predicts that Earth’s rotation ...

Researchers have gained access to the rich physics of a landmark model magnet by assembling a crystal out of organic magnetic molecules. The S = 1 Haldane chain is an infinite 1D string of integer ...

A newly predicted effect should provide a clean way to distinguish between a Bose-Einstein condensate of quasiparticles ...

Microsoft’s announcement of achieving a milestone in a potentially transformative approach to quantum computing is met with skepticism by researchers attending the APS Global Summit. Microsoft's ...

A combined experimental and theoretical study reveals the emergence of quantum chaos in a complex system, suggesting that it can be described with a universal theoretical framework. Figure 1: ...
