Electrons are tiny and constantly in motion. How they behave in a crystal lattice determines key material properties: electrical conductivity, magnetism, or novel quantum effects. Anyone aiming to ...

Superconductors are among the most puzzling materials in physics. They conduct electricity with zero resistance, but only ...

Josef Gatti tells us little that we don’t already know in “Phenomena,” and that’s pretty much the point. In his first feature ...

Researchers at Queen Mary University of London have reported that humans can detect buried objects through sand without directly touching them, a sensory ability previously documented only in ...

Researchers have identified a potential mechanism that explains how turbulent plasma can produce the vast, ordered magnetic fields observed across the universe Cosmic magnetic fields are everywhere, ...

As binary neutron stars spiral around each other to merge, their gravitational tidal forces distort each other's shape and ...
