New Record for Coldest Freezing Point of Water Set
Things said to as “cold as ice,” but how cold is it really? The freezing point of water is something we all learn before we…
Semiconductors have Entered the Quantum World
Quantum effects in superconductors have the potential to give semiconductor technology a new spin. Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and Cornell University in…
Accelerating Fusion Energy Development
Fusion produces energy by fusing light elements into plasma. Scientists all over the world are working to replicate the fusion process in order to provide…
An Entirely New Way on the Quantum Level Swinging
Many applications that make use of quantum effects require light to be in a specific state, namely a single-photon state. But what is the best…
Developing Low-cost and High-quality iron-based Superconductors
At low temperatures, superconducting materials have zero electrical resistance, allowing them to conduct “supercurrents” without dissipation. A group of scientists led by Dr. Kazumasa Iida…
A Novel Approach to MRI
Magnetism is a property of matter caused by electrons orbiting in atoms. Because of the orbiting electrons, the atoms have a magnetic moment associated with…
A Long-Suspended Magnetic Materials Classification Issue has been Solved
For nearly 2,000 years, humans have been aware of the unusual phenomena of magnetism. Researchers have continuously advanced humanity’s fundamental understanding of magnetism from ancient…
How can Vacancies be Converted into Quantum Information?
Researchers have made a breakthrough that should pave the way for much better control over the formation of quantum bits, or qubits, the fundamental unit…
At Extremely Low Temperatures, a so-called “Strange Metal” has been Demonstrated to be a Superconductor
Certain materials lose their electrical resistance at low temperatures and conduct electricity without loss. The phenomena of superconductivity has been recognized since 1911, however, it…
Neutrinos Detected For the First Time at Brand-New CERN Experiment
Neutrinos, the most elusive of known particles, have been discovered at the world’s most powerful particle accelerators. Because neutrinos are so light and have no…
The Ultrafast Dynamics of Matter is Captured by a Table-Top Electron Camera
DESY scientists have developed a small electron camera capable of capturing the inner, ultrafast movements of matter. The system fires short bursts of electrons at…
