Researchers reveal an unusual magnetic behavior that could be used to probe a variety of exotic physical phenomena, and could ultimately be used to produce…
Scientists at Brown University predict that a material made from hafnium, nitrogen, and carbon would have the highest known melting point, about two-thirds the temperature…
Advances in magnet technology have enabled MIT scientists to propose a new design for a practical compact tokamak fusion reactor. It’s an old joke that…
Physicists from MIT have created a superfluid gas, the so-called Bose-Einstein condensate, for the first time in an extremely high magnetic field. The magnetic field…
An international team of physicists has confirmed for the first time the experimental observation of Weyl points. Part of a 1929 prediction by physicist Hermann…
In a newly published study scientists from MIT and Brookhaven National Laboratory reveal how electrical charge carriers move in conjugated polymers, potentially opening up further…
Physicists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have reported the discovery of a class of particles known as pentaquarks. “The pentaquark is not just any new…
