Sometimes it's just too hard to keep up:
Walking crystals may lead to new field of crystal robotics
Feb 2018, phys.org
Researchers have demonstrated that tiny micrometer-sized crystals—just barely visible to the human eye—can "walk" inchworm-style across the slide of a microscope.
Other crystals are capable of different modes of locomotion such as rolling, flipping, bending, twisting, and jumping. In the future, these moving crystals may open the doors to the development of crystal-based robots. -phys.org
Scientists observe a new quantum particle with properties of ball lightning

"It is remarkable that we could create the synthetic electromagnetic knot, that is, quantum ball lightning..."
Want more efficient simulators? Store time in a quantum superposition

Want more efficient simulators? Store time in a quantum superposition.
[Really not following this one, but quantum time simulators? Yes.]
Graphene material strengthens nerve signaling in the brain
Mar 2018, phys.org
Just when you thought we were done talking about graphene for a while...
Not only can you grow brain cells on a sheet of graphene, but it also enhances signaling of those brain cells, AND, no surprise that all this comes as a complete surprise to the researchers (this happens a lot with graphene).
