Penn State scientists have unveiled a new theory-driven method to predict superconductors, offering a possible path toward ...

In a Physical Review Letters study, the HOLMES collaboration has achieved the most stringent upper bound on the effective ...

For the first time, scientists have figured out how to measure a system, no matter how extreme the energy difference. Two UA physicists may have fundamentally altered thinking about thermodynamics, a ...

For decades, scientists quested after a room-temperature superconductor. Now that they’ve finally found one, the hunt is on for an even better material. Until last year, all known superconductors — ...

A room-temperature superconductor like LK 99 could make electricity abundant, power quantum computers, enable high-speed ...

A fundamental link between two counterintuitive phenomena in spin glasses—reentrance and temperature chaos—has been ...

Flash Physics is our daily pick of the latest need-to-know developments from the global physics community selected by Physics World‘s team of editors and reporters In the balance: the kilogram can be ...

First discovered by Dutch physicist Heike Onnes in the early 20th century, superconductivity is a rare phenomenon observed in metallic materials where its resistance to electrons flow was lost at ...

The recent identification of a novel molecular architecture of water, stabilized at a temperature close to our own but under ...

A novel technique for studying vortices in quantum fluids has been developed by physicists. Turbulence in quantum systems, for example in superfluid helium 4, takes place on microscopic scales, and so ...
