Researchers create cobalt-based thin film for quantum materials study

by
Cobalt Mineral Chemical Element

Researchers have created a cobalt-based thin film in which local honeycomb structures generate strong magnetic interactions linked to Kitaev-type quantum materials, scitechdaily.com reported. The material utilizes sodium antimonate (NaSbO3) as a base, providing a layered honeycomb framework that accommodates cobalt atoms without disrupting the broader crystal lattice. Scientists produce thin film with cobalt atoms Scientists … Read more

Physicists Discover Fundamental Limit to Electrical Resistance

by

Researchers have identified a fundamental limit to electrical resistivity caused by electron collisions, according to a study published in Physical Review Letters. By using ultracold potassium atoms as a quantum simulation for electrons, a team including researchers from the University of Toronto, L’École Normale Supérieure in Paris, and Lehigh University observed that collision-driven resistance reaches … Read more

Quantum Mystery Recreated: Scientists Discover New Water Tank Phenomenon

by

Researchers at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) have successfully simulated complex quantum behaviors using a simple water tank, according to a study published April 20, 2026, in Communications Physics. By generating opposing water waves around a central vortex, the team observed rotating nodal lines—a fluid-based analogue to the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect—that provide … Read more

Can Time Flow Backward? A Quantum Physics Breakthrough

by

Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed quantum control protocols capable of suppressing or reversing the perceived arrow of time in quantum systems. By utilizing tailored measurement and feedback loops, the team demonstrated that quantum dynamics—which are fundamentally time-symmetric—can be manipulated to make processes appear as if they are evolving backward, a breakthrough published … Read more

Physicists Create New Species of Schrödinger’s Cat

by

Physicists at the University of Oxford have developed a new method to create and control complex quantum “cat states” using trapped strontium ions. By utilizing mid-circuit measurements to sculpt the motion of an ion, researchers can now access a broader range of nonclassical quantum states than previously possible, according to a study published in Physical … Read more

What Is Time? Inside a Scientist’s Miniature Universe

by

University of Birmingham researcher Professor Giovanni Barontini has successfully simulated a miniature universe using 24,000 ultracold atoms, providing the first controlled experimental evidence that time emerges from internal system disorder rather than an external clock. Published in Physical Review Research, the study demonstrates that time functions as a property of entropy, offering a new framework … Read more

New Tachyon Theory: Unlocking Time Travel Secrets

by

Physicists Andrzej Dragan and Artur Ekert have published a revised quantum field theory in Physical Review D that resolves long-standing mathematical contradictions regarding tachyons. By expanding the Hilbert space into a “twin space,” the research suggests these hypothetical faster-than-light particles may be consistent with special relativity and Lorentz invariance. Why did previous tachyon theories fail? … Read more
