'Walking droplets'

A team of researchers at MIT has successfully created walking droplets that exhibit pilot-wave dynamics in action. These droplets are reminiscent of the pilot-wave theory proposed by Louis de Broglie and were previously thought to be exclusive to the microscopic quantum realm.

Removing complexity layers from the universe's creation

Physicists propose that Einstein's special relativity emerges from a combination of quantum dynamics and gravity. This theory predicts the formation of charge asymmetry between particles and anti-particles at ultra-minute fractions of seconds after the Big Bang, in agreement with recent cosmological observations.

More precision from less predictability: A new quantum trade-off

Researchers at Griffith University have demonstrated that particle properties can be measured simultaneously with high precision, challenging the long-held idea that this is impossible. The findings provide an important advance in the quantitative understanding and experimental verification of complementarity.

Physics and math shed new light on biology by mapping the landscape of evolution

A team of scientists proposes a new theory of evolution that combines emergent fitness landscape and curl flux to explain evolutionary dynamics. The theory provides a physical foundation for general evolution dynamics, offering insights into the Red Queen Hypothesis and the benefits of sexual reproduction.

Physicists discover how fundamental particles lose track of quantum mechanical properties

Researchers at the University of California - Santa Barbara and Ames Laboratory have discovered how fundamental particles in matter lose their quantum mechanical properties through interactions with their environment. This finding is key to unraveling how the classical world emerges from interacting quantum particles in matter.

Inside a quantum dot: Tracking electrons at trillionths of a second

Scientists have created a machine that can track the passage of an electron in a nanostructure at a time scale of ten picoseconds and a spatial resolution of 50 nanometers. This innovation will improve our understanding of nanoscale dynamics and enable the study of previously intractable materials.
