Scientists Built a Bizarre New Atom That Isn’t Supposed to Work — Here’s What It Means
What makes this artificial atom so unusual? In a landmark development, researchers have built an artificial atom that behaves in ways physicists didn’t expect. Traditional atomic models describe electrons orbiting a nucleus with well-defined energy levels. These models rely on electric and magnetic fields interacting with matter at a point-like reference. The new construct, however,…

Quantum Superposition Reaches Macroscopically Distinguishable States with Infinite Degrees of Freedom
Unlocking New Frontiers in Quantum Superposition Traditionally, quantum superposition plays out in systems with a small number of measurable properties. Particles can exist in a blend of states, and measurements reveal probabilistic outcomes that reflect the underlying quantum amplitudes. Recent advances, however, are expanding the scope of superposition beyond the confines of a few observables,…

Diamond-Driven Time Crystals: A New Phase of Matter
What is a time crystal—and why does it matter? Time crystals are a striking prediction in quantum physics: a state of matter where the system’s properties replay in time, even without energy input, in a rhythm that never settles into a conventional equilibrium. Unlike ordinary crystals, which repeat their structure in space, time crystals exhibit…
