A tiny particle, floating in a magnetic field, suddenly starts behaving like a ghost—here and there at once. Physicists have found a simple way to place it in a quantum trap, to unravel the mysteries of the boundary between worlds and, perhaps, catch dark matter.
🎯 Quantum dances are usually performed by atoms, but here dust grains that are thousands of times heavier than atoms whirl in the trap.
