By employing finely tuned microwave fields, researchers limit collisions between molecules of sodium cesium and cool them down to 6 nK. DOI:https://doi.org/10.1063/pt.uufx.loayContent License:FreeViewEISSN:1945-0699 In a gas chilled to the nanokelvin regime, particles with integer spin can all settle into the same ground state.

IntroductionIn the 127 years since the electron was discovered, it has undergone more scrutiny than perhaps any other particle. As a result, its properties are not just well known, but rote, textbook material: Electrons have a smidgen of mass and negative electric charge. In a conductor, they swim relatively unimpeded as a current; in an insulator, they barely move. Over time, caveats have cropped up.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—U.S. physicists have a bold new plan to “explore the quantum universe,” from the smallest bits of matter to the broadest reaches of the cosmos. On December 7 the Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel (P5), a committee of experts that convenes roughly once a decade, debuted its draft report, which charts a course for U.S. particle physics across the next two decades.

Some processes in physics happen in the blink of an eye, while others happen in the blink of a photon. This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Pierre Agostini, at the Ohio State University, Ferenc Krausz, at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, and Anne L’Huillier, at Lund University in Sweden, for developing the field of ultra-fast laser pulses. L’Huillier is only the fifth woman to have ever won the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Science journalists are why most people are aware of Fermilab's woes, DUNE's budgetary issues, and the 'crisis' in physics around the lack of BSM. We also report on the government-mandated elimination of diversity initiatives.
Fermilab is a nonfunctional organization, DUNE is wildly over budget, we have an entire industry of BSM model builders churning out slop. And the only thing you read about in the science press is hand-wringing because somebody took down a pride flag.
Science advising during the second Trump term is off to a fast start with filled roles, but the policy remains up in the air. Co-reported with Jeff Tollefson; our story: https://t.co/hPof1XfxpP
There's still caveats—only 1 logical qubit, no actual computation, absolute error rate per cycle is 7x per syndrome—but Google's error correction result really is very impressive, and it suggests a real path to fault tolerance. https://t.co/S8ais7eitb
