Scientists have tracked a molecule breaking apart in real time. Using ultrafast x-ray scattering, they watched electrons move and hydrogen atoms shift in ammonia as it absorbed light — capturing the reaction with unprecedented resolution. Read the paper in @PhysRevLett:

By coupling a maximal randomness principle with a law of conservation, a @PhysRevLett study universally describes the fragments that form when objects as diverse as ceramics, plastics, dry spaghetti, and bubbles under ocean waves break apart. Read more: https://t.co/xqRZHLibNM

For the first time, qubits have hit the Leggett-Garg bound of three. Using nuclear spins in a three-spin molecule under an 11.7 T field, researchers applied a superposition of time evolutions, achieving resilience to decoherence. Read more in @PhysRevLett: https://t.co/a4LGKmA41k

Thermodynamics gets weird at the microscopic level: megakelvin temps, huge temperature and efficiency fluctuations, and position-dependent diffusion — a key process in chemistry and biology. Read the study in @PhysRevLett: https://t.co/J5tmFf9XOW

Particle #physics once relied mainly on accelerators and theory. But discoveries like the Higgs boson show that progress now requires a “big tent” of people and ideas. #NASmember Michael Turner and Maria Spiropulu explore this shift in @APSphysics News:

Cooling neutron stars might help test a possible fifth force of nature. A new study in @PhysRevLett uses older stars to probe how hypothetical scalar particles could couple to matter — tightening constraints by six orders of magnitude. 🔗 https://t.co/D2GKCsS7qi
