In 1935, a relatively unknown Japanese physicist, Hideki Yukawa predicted the mass of an undiscovered particle related to the strong force. Physicists confirmed the pi meson’s existence in 1947, and Yukawa received the Nobel Prize in 1949. quantamagazine.org/colliders…

Yes, there are scientific reasons to believe in a multiverse. Go beyond the late-night college dorm speculations to an informed discussion on the newest episode of The Joy of Why. Listen and subscribe to the podcast: listen.quantamagazine.org/jo…

Without the limits imposed on physical waveguides by gravity, distance and power, Howard Milchberg's team thinks the applications of air-waveguide technology are wide open—particularly once it’s extended to the kilometer range. @UofMaryland @UMDPhysics ow.ly/WCR150O0eqx

Weaving superconductivity Today’s #PhotoOfTheWeek pictures a Rutherford cabling machine. In 2019, it was used for the assembly of the high-performance superconducting cables to be used in the High-Luminosity LHC. The development at CERN of magnesium diboride cables and other advanced superconducting systems for the #HiLumiLHC is driving applications beyond fundamental research. #DidYouKnow that the #LHC is the biggest application of superconductivity in the world?

#MayThe4thBeWithYou! What happens when the Force (of gravity) is NOT with you, always? Here at @NASA, it's our job to find out. Low gravity can have a big impact on muscles, bones and joints. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/3wjMWsG

The quantum world may take some getting used to, but researchers at JQI and around the globe are constantly revealing new ways that quantum mechanics can explain the world around us and be put to practical uses. #WorldQuantumDay @UMDPhysics @UMDscience @NIST @WorldQuantumDay
Things in the quantum world get … weird. @JQInews knows all about that, right? #WorldQuantumDay

Ants aren’t the first animals to inspire explorations of the #quantum realm. That honor belongs to a hypothetical cat imagined by the physicist Erwin Schroedinger to illustrate quantum effects. Journey to @argonne's quantum realm with Stephen Gray: #AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania

Our researchers are finding that the future of computing doesn't "byte" - in fact, it's a "bit" more exciting than that due to continued work in the quantum world! Learn about that and more each week as we count down to #WorldQuantumDay: bit.ly/QuantumTechAFRL #AFResearchLab
