Argonne Laboratory works with nano-size cryotrons that act as superconductivity switches.

Small-size cryotrons that can switch superconductivity on and off are tools that can make the particle accelerators more effective. The problem with regular magnetic systems is that in some cases, like Muon G-2 anomalies, the particle accelerator's magnetic field can cover the magnetic effect of accelerating particles. 

Particle accelerators collect data from collisions of the particles using optical, magnetic, and magneto-chemical sensors. The newest sensors are cloud chambers. That system should analyze particles that travel in it. And the new types of cloud chambers use quantum gas. That makes them more effective than traditional cloud chambers. 

The magnetic field must have precise strength so that it can detect some changes in the particles. And their energy levels. If the magnetic field is too weak, the system cannot see details in the impacts. Too strong a magnetic field turns subatomic particles or subparticular interactions back in the magnetic mainframe. 

When atoms and ions are interacting in particle accelerators the problem is that those ions and anions are entireties. All particles interact separately but those interactions happen in a short period. Another thing is that the electrons and positrons are elementary particles, but there are also internal structures in those particles. The system must have a very accurate magnetic field. That it can get data from those internal structures. 

The ultra-small details in interactions require new tools. Those traditional sensors like bubble chambers and wire chambers had enough accuracy to analyze things like antimatter-matter interactions. Those sensors saw flashes of impact. Then the traditional sensors followed the tracks that particles left in vapor or something like that. 

The Higgs Boson changed this game. Those short-living particles told that there is at least one particle, that the systems must find so that researchers can complete their Standard model. The problem in those very short-living particles is that the flash or energy impulse from the collimation covers their existence. Those particles remain only for a short moment. And they cannot come out from the flash.

Schrödinger's cat: and the limits of that idea.

"In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment concerning quantum superposition". (Wikipedia, Schrödinger's cat). But the same thing can use as model for many other thought experiments.  Sooner or later, or at least in the ultimate end of the universe, the Schrödinger's cat will turn into wave movement. The information that this cat involved exists but the cat does not exist in its material form. The information doesn't ever vanish. It just turns its shape.  We are all trapped in the universe and time. The universe is the space that is entirety to us. There are no confirmed other universities. But the multiverse is a logical continuum for the expanding galactic megastructures.  The problem with natural things is this. They are black and white. They exist or do not exist. Could there be something, that exists and not exists at the same time?  Scrödinger's cat is thinking experiment about case their cat is not dead or not alive. But in this...

The string theory offers a new way to calculate Pi.

"Scientists discovered a new series for pi through string theory research, echoing a 15th-century formula by Madhava. By combining Euler-Beta Functions and Feynman Diagrams, they modeled particle interactions efficiently. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Leap in Mathematics) People normally think that. The pi is the ratio of the circumference circle's circumference to the circle's diameter. The Pi is a mathematical constant 3.14159..., the endless decimal number. The Pi is interesting because developers can use that decimal number to make the encryption algorithms stronger.  The idea is that the encryptions program hides the message's original ASCII numbers by multiplicating those numbers with some decimal number. Or the system can add some numbers to those ASCII numbers.  "Aninda Sinha (left) and Arnab Saha (right). Credit: Manu Y" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Le...

There are always more than three actors in the real world.

"An international research team is advancing precision timekeeping by developing a nuclear clock using thorium isotopes and innovative laser methods, potentially transforming our understanding of physical constants and dark matter. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Unveiling the Thorium Nuclear Clock and Its Time-Twisting Secrets) From Three-body problem... There are no pure three-body systems in nature. There are always more than three components in the system. For making real three-body systems we must separate those three bodies from the environment. Otherwise, there are stable effects. But nobody can predict some effects like distant supernova explosions or sun eruptions.  And one of those things that affect all bodies is time. When radioactive materials decay. That affects the stability and symmetry of the object.  Energy levels affect the existence of things like neutrons. The thorium atom clocks are next-generation tools for time measurement....
