Infinitos Mundos

In the strange and fascinating realm of quantum physics, certain transitions between states of matter challenge our traditional understanding of how particles behave. Among the most mysterious of these phenomena are deconfined quantum critical points (DQCPs)—rare quantum transitions that break away ...

Engineers at Georgia Tech have developed a 5-inch soft robot that can leap 10 feet into the air—roughly the height of a basketball hoop—despite having no legs. The design was inspired by the acrobatic jumps of microscopic parasitic worms called nematodes. Constructed from a silicone rod reinforced w...
