Patrick Simmons+FollowEinstein vs. Bohr: Quantum Drama Settled!Quantum physics just threw it back to the 1920s and settled the Einstein vs. Bohr debate for real! Chinese scientists recreated Einstein’s famous thought experiment with a single atom, and—spoiler alert—Bohr was right. Turns out, you really can’t know everything about a quantum particle at once. The experiment is being called “textbook beautiful” and could open up wild new ways to study quantum weirdness. Science nerds, this is your Super Bowl! #Science #QuantumPhysics #Einstein01Share
Michelle York+FollowColorado’s quantum leap: Matter colder than spaceImagine creating a new form of matter right here in Boulder—so cold, it barely exists anywhere in the universe. That’s exactly what physicist Deborah Jin pulled off at JILA, just off Pearl Street. By chilling potassium atoms to near absolute zero, she unlocked the first-ever fermionic condensate, changing how we understand quantum physics. Jin’s work not only put Boulder on the global science map but also opened doors for women in physics. Her legacy lives on in the labs and the students she inspired. What do you think—could Boulder become the next hub for quantum breakthroughs? #Science #Boulder #QuantumPhysics00Share
