New cerium superhydrides become stepping stones to “Goldilocks” superconductors. Researchers from Skoltech and their colleagues from China have experimentally shown superconductivity in cerium superhydrides CeH9…
A long-lasting non-equilibrium phase coexistence in supercritical fluids has been observed by a Korean research team. A team of researchers led by Professor Gunsu S….
Water can freeze from liquid to solid ice or boil into a gas. In the kitchen these “phase transitions” aren’t smooth, but their discontinuous nature…
Understanding the physics behind natural processes provides new applications for soft robotics, manufacturing automation. Walking with coffee is something most of us do every day…
Using a groundbreaking new technique at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), an international collaboration led by NIST researchers has revealed previously unrecognized…

Videos capture nanofiber behavior under water aerosol exposure. Since its outbreak, the COVID-19 virus has infected more than 220.9 million people worldwide and has claimed…
Physicists and engineers have found a way to identify and address imperfections in materials for one of the most promising technologies in commercial quantum computing….
The findings confirm theoretical predictions that certain metallic specimens could support an electron-phonon liquid phase. A team of researchers from Boston College has created a…
Mott Insulator Exhibits a Sharp Response to Electron Injection In a finding that will give theorists plenty to ponder, an all-RIKEN team has observed an…
Ultrafast laser spectroscopy allows observing the motion of atoms at their natural time scales in the range of femtoseconds, the millionth of a billionth of…
A key challenge for scientists striving to produce on Earth the fusion energy that powers the sun and stars is preventing what are called runaway…
University of Chicago and German physicists propose new realm of ‘unnuclear physics.’ Even though neutrons love to partner with protons to make the nucleus of…
An international team has reported in Nature the first observation of ghost polaritons, which are a new form of surface waves carrying nanoscale light strongly…
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) researchers have explored high-pressure behavior of shock-compressed tantalum at the Omega Laser Facility at the University of Rochester’s Laboratory for…
This ain’t your grandma’s fridge magnet. An exotic form of magnetism has been discovered and linked to an equally exotic type of electrons, according to…
Physicists at EPFL have found a way to get photons to interact with pairs of atoms for the first time. The breakthrough is important for…
LSU Quantum researchers rearrange photon distribution to create different light sources. For decades, scholars have believed that the quantum statistical properties of bosons are preserved…
