- Twisted graphene reveals a hidden superconductivity switch
Scientists discovered a method to control superconductivity by pairing twisted graphene layers with a synthetic diamond material, enabling the switch to be toggled on and off. The material's behavior challenges conventional superconductivity theories, suggesting new physics.
- Odd “butterfly” molecule could lead to new parts of the quantum realm
An exotic molecule shaped like a butterfly, with 'wings' made from electrons, has been discovered. The molecule could open new pathways in the quantum realm.
- This new camera captures what happens in a trillionth of a second
Scientists have developed a new imaging technique that captures ultrafast events in trillionths of a second, revealing structural changes previously invisible. This breakthrough allows real-time observation of phenomena like plasma formation, electron movement, and material transformations.
- Scientists just found a way to control electrons without magnets
Scientists discovered that chiral phonons—tiny atomic vibrations—can control electrons without magnets, batteries, or electricity, enabling a new field called orbitronics. This breakthrough could revolutionize computing by using electrons' orbital motion for data processing.
- Graphene just defied a fundamental law of physics
Scientists observed electrons in graphene flowing like a nearly frictionless liquid, defying a core law of physics. This breakthrough reveals new quantum behavior and could lead to advanced technologies.
