Nature Review Materials: Building scalable quantum technologies requires generating robust many-body entanglement in solid-state platforms. This Review highlights how engineered light-matter interactions, optical nonlinearities and coupling to nanophotonic structures enable coherent many-body entangled states that are resilient to disorder and decoherence.

Is this a Twilight reference? 🐺

Scientists using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope identified a new moon orbiting Uranus, expanding the number of the planet's satellites to 29. The newfound moon is estimated to be just six miles in diameter — far too small to be seen in previous observations.

Skyrmions are localized, particle-like excitations in materials that retain their structure due to topological constraints (i.e., restrictions arising from properties that remain unchanged under smooth deformations). These quasiparticles, first introduced in high-energy physics and quantum field the...
