This month we discover how light scattering can measure material time, review the prospects for drug design on quantum computers, and examine the links between flat bands and strange metals.

Rotational symmetry is shown to protect the quadratic dispersion of out-of-plane flexural vibrations in graphene and other two-dimensional materials against phonon–phonon interactions, making the bending rigidity of these materials non-divergent. The quadratic dispersion is then consistent with the propagation of sound in the graphene plane.
