Collaborate Disseminate
Two guys — Stern and Gerlach — did an experiment in 1922. They wanted to measure magnetism caused by electron orbits. At the time, they didn’t know about particles having …read more Continue reading The Stern-Gerlach Experiment Misunderstood
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
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

NASA scientists have discovered a third global energy field around Earth. Known as the ambipolar electric field, this force drives charged particles into space above the poles.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Earth, Electric, NASA, Atmosphere, Io… Continue reading NASA discovers a new global energy field around Earth
The subatomic world is hard to image not just because it’s incredibly tiny, but super fast too. Now physicists at the University of Arizona have developed the world’s fastest electron microscope to capture events lasting just one quintillionth of a second.

Supermassive black holes have been known to belch gigantic beams of plasma into space – and now scientists have managed to recreate these fireballs in a lab at CERN.Continue ReadingCategory: Physics, ScienceTags: Black hole, Supermassive black hole, As… Continue reading Plasma fireballs from black holes are now being made here on Earth
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
If you’re like us, you’ve never spent a second thinking about what happens when you dunk an ordinary LED into liquid nitrogen. That’s too bad because as it turns out, …read more Continue reading Neopixels? Try Liquid Nitrogen to Color Shift Your LEDs Instead
