Under the right circumstances, electrons can actually “freeze” into a bizarre solid form. Now, physicists at Berkeley Lab have created and taken the first ever direct images of this structure.Continue ReadingCategory: Physics, ScienceTags: Electron Mic… Continue reading First images of electrons forming strange solid crystals
On New York’s Long Island, scientists are building an ambitious machine to tease apart the mysteries held inside atomic nuclei. A major component of that system is the world’s highest voltage electron gun and it’s just aced a six-month test.Continue Re… Continue reading Ray gun accelerates electrons from zero to 500 million mph in two inches
MIT scientists have coaxed atoms into an exotic “edge state” for the first time, allowing them to flow completely friction-free. The breakthrough could lead to better superconductor materials.Continue ReadingCategory: Physics, ScienceTags: Particle phy… Continue reading Superconductivity breakthrough: ‘Edge state’ atoms flow friction-free

Using off-the-shelf industrial parts, a team of researchers from the public and private sectors has created a prototype of a small particle accelerator that could have a big impact bringing the technology forward for commercial applications.Continue Re… Continue reading General Atomics is working on a “small, commercial particle accelerator”
Scientists have confirmed the existence of a strange new form of magnetism. Hiding right under our noses, the team says that “altermagnetism” can be found in everyday materials and could have major technological uses.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTa… Continue reading Altermagnetism: New form of magnetism discovered in common materials
Scientists at ETH Zurich have discovered a new type of magnetism. Experiments show that an artificially produced material becomes magnetic through a mechanism that hasn’t been seen before.Continue ReadingCategory: Physics, ScienceTags: Magnetic, Magnet… Continue reading Scientists discover strange new form of magnetism
While studying a material that could help unlock the secrets of superconductors, scientists have accidentally discovered a “demon” particle that was first theorized almost 70 years ago, but had never been experimentally confirmed.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading “Demon particle” accidentally discovered, solving 67-year mystery
Many quantum effects can only be produced at extremely cold temperatures, which limits how useful they would be in real-world settings. Now, researchers at Princeton have demonstrated a strange quantum state taking place in a material at room temperatu… Continue reading Strange material demonstrates exotic quantum state at room temperature
