A Tiny Magnet Sneaks Through an Invisible Wall

A tiny magnet levitates in a trap, unable to rotate freely. Scientists have found a way to protect its quantum 'leakage' through an energy barrier from residual gas interference: just make the magnet almost perfectly round. This discovery promises a breakthrough in creating ultra-sensitive sensors a

Levitating Graphite Web Captures the Moon's Embrace

In Southampton, the thinnest graphite flake has been turned into an ultrasoft gravitational antenna. Levitating above magnets, it shifts by nanometers under tidal forces, and a laser interferometer converts this into a precise signal. The instrument distinguishes lunar and solar contributions, achie
