Five more of the best physics breakthroughs of 2019

12 Dec 2019 Tami Freeman

This week, as last week, the Physics World Weekly podcast is dedicated to our Top Ten Breakthroughs in Physics for 2019.

Last week we chatted about the first five breakthroughs on our list, and this week we take a look at the other five on our shortlist. These are: a “quantum trap” based on the Casimir effect; the first double-slit-like experiment using antimatter; a demonstration of “quantum supremacy”; a compact gravity probe; and a wearable MEG scanner for use with children.
