What makes a metal “remember” its original shape? 🔺 In a new study in APS Open Science, researchers developed a model to study shape memory alloys, revealing that the alloys’ thermal memory has a geometric origin: go.aps.org/3OYpMHw

Pratidhwani Swain and Sukanta Tripathy at @BUniversiy, Ramita Sarkar at the Institute of Physics, Bhubaneswar, and Prasanta Panigrahi at @SOAsocialmedia authored the paper.

A paper in APS Open Science shows that even in noisy #quantum systems, quantum coherence, predictability, and entanglement remain tightly linked. The result extends a known correspondence from ideal, closed quantum systems to more realistic conditions. 🔗 go.aps.org/4vTIIYu

⭐ May the Fourth be with you. Check out our completely serious schematic of a lightsaber. Physicists: “This violates several fundamental laws.” Star Wars fans: “This violates canon.” Reviewer 2: “I was definitely not consulted on this.” Us: “What if we just… kept going anyway?” #MayThe4th #MayThe4thBeWithYou #StarWarsDay
