Researchers have created the heaviest Schrödinger cat to date by putting a crystal in a superposition of two oscillation states.
Superposition shouldn't be possible for objects larger than an atom -- but these scientists are defying conventional wisdom.
Physicists have placed part of a sapphire crystal into a quantum superposition, making it the heaviest object to show quantum effects, in a new take on Erwin Schrödinger's famous cat experiment.

Date Time A material-keyboard made of graphene Researchers at ETH Zurich have succeeded in turning specially prepared graphene flakes either into insulators or into superconductors by applying an electric voltage. This technique even works locally, meaning that in the same graphene flake regions with completely different physical properties can be realized side by side. The material keyboard realized by the ETH Zurich researchers. By applying electric voltages (“keys”) at different points, the magic-angle graphene can become locally superconducting (electron pairs) or isolating (barrier o...
