Physicists have reported a record-breaking quantum experiment that uses some of the strangest atoms in physics to create a larger and more robust version of Schrödinger’s cat, the famous thought experiment about objects existing in multiple states at once. The work matters far beyond fundamental science: advances in controlling fragile quantum states are central to the next generation of sensing, computing, and energy-relevant materials research.

15 Nov 2026, 02:00 PM ISTScientists Spot a Mysterious ‘Dragonball’ Deep in the South China Sea
Researchers have identified an unusual deep-sea formation in the South China Sea that has been described as a “dragonball” structure, adding a striking new data point to the study of one of the world’s least understood marine environments. While the finding is not a clean-energy breakthrough in itself, it underscores how much remains unknown about the ocean systems that regulate climate, store carbon, and shape the planet’s energy balance.
