In order to achieve a fusion power plant, it is necessary to stably confine a plasma of more than 100...
Researchers at Northeastern have discovered a new quantum phenomenon in a specific class of materials, called antiferromagnetic insulators, that could...
Some metals are in liquid form, the prime example being mercury. But there are also enormous quantities of liquid metal...
As physicists delve deeper into the quantum realm, they are discovering an infinitesimally small world composed of a strange and...
An international research collaboration has discovered how to exploit certain defects to protect confined energy in acoustics systems. Their experimental...
Unlike fictional laser swords, real laser beams do not interact with each other when they cross—unless the beams meet within...
Information in computers is transmitted through semiconductors by the movement of electrons and stored in the direction of the electron...
Optical imaging and characterization of weakly scattering phase objects, such as isolated cells, bacteria and thin tissue sections frequently used...
High temperature superconductivity is something of a holy grail for researchers studying quantum materials. Superconductors, which conduct electricity without dissipating...
Ever since the discovery of the quantum Hall effect (Nobel Prize 1985), symmetry has been the guiding principle in the...
Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), created in ultracold bosonic atoms and degenerate quantum gases, are a macroscopic quantum phenomenon and are considered...
What will it take to make our electronics smarter, faster, and more resilient? One idea is to build them from...
