The laureates brought the conceptual features of quantum physics back to mainstream interest.

The isotopic composition of ancient Australian rocks may answer a long-standing question about early Earth.

About a third of species show indications of unpredictable long-term behavior.

Strontium ruthenate may exhibit an exotic superconducting state composed of electron pairs with nonzero momentum.

Nearly a decade of collisions and a decade of analysis yield the fundamental particle’s mass with the highest precision to date.

Early images from the JWST reveal previously unseen fingerprints of stellar interactions with a dying star.

With the right dimensions, a laser composed of a series of quantum wells emits hard-to-produce terahertz-frequency light without the usual need for cryogenic cooling.

Roger Penrose proved that black holes could and should form in the universe. The topological picture he used in that proof has become foundational to general relativity.

Cooling techniques borrowed from atomic physics bring a room-temperature speck of glass into the quantum regime.

An exotic phenomenon in condensed-matter systems illuminates the behavior of a one-dimensional model akin to the game rock-paper-scissors.

The decoupling of electronic and nuclear spin states allows scattering fermionic atoms to rapidly cool.

The photocurrent in an unusual material could facilitate an increase in the information density of optical communications.

The quasiparticles essential for proposed magnonic devices exert a spin-transfer torque of the same magnitude as that of electrons.

High-speed scanning tunneling microscopy reveals recently identified atomic movements that hasten diffusion.

Improved device quality is the key to seeing a whole series of superconducting, correlated, and magnetic states in two layers of graphene assembled at a magic angle.

Detection at a new wavelength reveals ancient galaxies in higher numbers than observed previously or predicted.
