💎 Why do two forms of La3Ni2O7 exhibit very different superconductivity? A new study on the monolayer-trilayer phase says it comes down to interlayer coupling of bilayer NiO6 units.

When you throw a ball at a wall, you can be sure it will bounce back at you.
You would be extremely surprised if the ball suddenly appeared on the other side of the wall. In quantum mechanics this type of phenomenon is called tunnelling and is exactly the type of phenomenon that has given it a reputation for being bizarre and unintuitive.
The 2025 Nobel Prize laureates in physics John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis, used a series of experiments to demonstrate that the bizarre properties of the quantum world can be made concrete in a system big enough to be held in the hand. Their superconducting electrical system could tunnel from one state to another, as if it were passing straight through a wall. They also showed that the system absorbed and emitted energy in doses of specific sizes, just as predicted by quantum mechanics.
In a few weeks we will be announcing this year's Nobel Prize in Physics - stay tuned.
Oxford physicists have helped find the strongest evidence yet of magnetic fields on exoplanets, discovering that strange, slowing winds act as a planetary magnetic brake. Read article in full via link in bio or visit https://t.co/YtXMaIiOnW
