Individual particles arrive at the detector one by one, gradually building up a pattern. At quantum-scale masses, sinusoidal interference fringes emerge from the noise, proving that massive objects behave as waves. Move horizontally to sweep from electron to macroscopic mass and watch the quantum-classical boundary dissolve. Based on Pedalino et al. (Nature, 2026) — the MUSCLE experiment at the University of Vienna achieved record-breaking macroscopicity μ = 15.5, one order of magnitude beyond all previous experiments.","shortDescription":"For two years, I was looking at flat lines"}}
