The bumps of a 'quantum snowdrift' made of cold atoms grow according to exactly the same scenario as a snowdrift in your yard. This universal law works for sand, water, and even cities. The experiment proved: nature is unified from atoms to skyscrapers.

In the quantum world, a system initially farther from equilibrium can settle down faster. Physicists found that suppressing the dominant rhythm of chaos sharply accelerates the growth of disorder and the approach to equilibrium. Moreover, by breaking time symmetry, they achieved an almost instantane
