Parallel reservoir computing architecture for network prediction: Each node (black circles) is assigned a reservoir, R, trained using the signal of the nearest nodes, u(t), to predict the signal of its own node.

Dark matter accounts for roughly 85% of the matter in the Universe, yet its constituents remain unknown. Solving this mystery calls for a wide range of experiments that can detect dark matter constituents with different masses and interactions. Now, Gadi Afek at Yale University and colleagues have proposed a laboratory-based detector that is drastically different from existing experiments.

The Rabi-Hubbard model is realized in a quantum simulator that uses a trapped ion platform with up to 16 ions in a linear array.

A proposed method for realizing a spin-triplet superconductor in an atomic Sn layer deposited onto a Si (111) substrate demonstrates the extended electronic Hubbard model.

In general probabilistic theories, superposition, in the form of what the authors define as strong incompatibility, is equivalent to entanglement.

Experiments indicate that superionic ice can exist in two stable crystal structures.

A new type of stable but movable spin texture, the spin antivortex, is predicted in lead monolayers on top of SiC substrates.

A decade after it was theorized, scientists in China have synthesized a new type of superconductor, the superhydride ${\text{CaH}}_6$.

Simulations elucidate the crucial role of dynamic association and dissociation of surface ionization groups on the spontaneous self-organization of zwitterionic particles, which have oppositely charged patches.

A persistent current can develop in a system of interacting fermions trapped in a ring geometry at low temperatures.
