Physicists Prove Surprising Rule of Threes
By: Natalie Wolchover – Quanta Magazine More than 40 years after a Soviet nuclear physicist proposed an outlandish theory that trios of particles can arrange themselves in an infinite nesting-doll configuration, experimentalists have reported strong evidence that this bizarre state of matter is real. In 1970, Vitaly Efimov was manipulating the equations of quantum mechanics… Continue reading Physicists Prove Surprising Rule of Threes
