Highest-Resolution Images of Single Atoms
Researchers captured the highest-resolution images ever of a single atom, revealing a new kind of vibrations using electron ptychography in moiré structures. This breakthrough enables atom-by-atom imaging for advanced materials science. Key research: 'Atom-by-atom imaging of moiré phasons with electron ptychography'.
Quantum Control of a Single Antiproton
CERN’s BASE collaboration achieved coherent spin spectroscopy on a single trapped antiproton, measuring its magnetic properties with unprecedented precision after months in a cryogenic trap. This advances antimatter research significantly. Research paper: 'Coherent spectroscopy with a single antiproton spin'.
Clearest Gravitational Wave Signal GW250114
LIGO detected a gravitational wave from two black hole collisions, extracting the first clear overtone of spinning black hole ringdown modes. Data confirmed Hawking’s area theorem and Kerr black hole nature precisely.
Hollow-Core Fibers Break 40-Year Limit
Microsoft and University of Southampton developed air-core fibers with membranes, reducing signal loss and boosting speeds by 45% below 0.1 dB/km. This promises faster internet and low-latency quantum networks. Research: 'Broadband optical fibre with an attenuation lower than 0.1 decibel per kilometre'.
