Researchers at the University of Manchester’s School of Physics and Astronomy, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), have recently published an article in Nature ...

A solid material that conducts electricity perfectly at certain temperatures may also qualify as an almost perfectly flowing liquid. If the result is confirmed, the superconducting material would ...

High-pressure electron tunneling spectroscopy reveals the presence of a superconducting gap in H₃S and D₃S. Superconductors are special materials that allow electricity to flow without any resistance, ...

Electricity powers our lives, including our cars, phones, computers, and more, through the movement of electrons within a ...

Strange metals defy the 60-year-old understanding of electric current as a flow of discrete charges. (Nanowerk News) We all learned that electricity is caused by electrons moving in a metal. Each ...

The ability to precisely study and manipulate electrons in electron microscopes could open new possibilities for the ...

I first learned of this area of research as a graduate student in physical chemistry. My doctoral adviser’s group had a project dedicated to studying chemical reactions with attosecond pulses. Before ...

The question of what protons or neutrons are made up of has an apparently simple answer: quarks and gluons. However, when it ...

Physicists have unveiled a new quantum state, a realm where electrons behave in a way previously unseen. This breakthrough, ...

You turn on a switch and the light switches on because electricity 'flows'. The usual perception is that this is like opening a faucet and the water starts to flow. But this analogy is misleading. The ...

In a strange metal (translucent box), electrons (blue marbles) lose their individuality and melt into a featureless, liquid-like stream. We all learned that electricity is caused by electrons moving ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...
