⭐ 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

What is time, really? ⏱️ A new theoretical study in @PhysRevLett suggests next-generation trapped-ion optical clocks could experimentally reproduce things like the superposition of proper times and time-dilation-induced entanglement. 🔗 go.aps.org/4cm5DEf

Artificial intelligence is already reshaping physics, from coding effectively to spotting patterns humans miss. But how well can it generate truly new ideas? At #APSSummit26, researchers shared where #AI excels — and where it still falls short. Read more in #APSNews: go.aps.org/48u6roj

🐝 A new study in @PhysRevE uses graph theory to show how group motion for winged animals like honey bees emerges without clear leaders. The authors found that individuals adjust how many neighbors they interact with based on the complexity of the goal. 🔗 go.aps.org/4v9UJso
