The precise imaging of many-body systems, which are comprised of many interacting particles, can help to validate theoretical models and better understand how individual particles in these systems ...

When scientists repeatedly drove a strongly interacting quantum system with laser “kicks,” they expected it to heat up and grow chaotic. Instead, the atoms abruptly stopped absorbing energy and locked ...

Long-range interactions, characterised by forces that decay with distance slower than the spatial dimensionality, pose unique challenges in statistical mechanics. Their inherent non-extensivity and ...

Over the past decades, roboticists have introduced a wide range of advanced systems that can move around in their surroundings and complete various tasks. Most of these robots can effectively collect ...

Quantum dynamics—the study of how particles behave and interact in a quantum system—has long fascinated physicists due to its puzzling and sometimes bizarre behaviors. Unlike classical systems, where ...

Virtual reality feels more “real” when users can touch a physical prop, but most haptic proxies follow a one-object-one-model approach that is costly and hard to deploy. A new fabric topological ...

Robot collective Magnetic microrobot swarms act as motors to move millimetre-sized passive objects without physical contact. (Courtesy: MPI-IS) Strong viscous interactions exist in microscale systems, ...
