Quantum spins move centimeter-scale object for first time in lab

Original: First observation of quantum spins shifting a centimeter-scale object in the lab

Researchers report the first laboratory observation of quantum spins shifting an object at centimeter scale, a milestone previously achieved only with microscopic systems. The result shows collective quantum effects can exert measurable mechanical force on everyday-sized objects. Physicists are highlighting the demonstration as a step toward new quantum sensors and tests of quantum mechanics at larger scales.

Why now: It is a scientific first demonstrating quantum effects on an object large enough to see, which excites the physics community.
