A new spin on organic shampoo makes it sudsier, longer lasting

While there's no regulation in the U.S. for what's in organic shampoos, they tend to contain ingredients perceived as safe or environmentally friendly. However, these "clean" shampoos separate and spoil faster than those ...

The spontaneous emergence of 1D superconducting stripes at a 2D interface in an oxide heterostructure

Unconventional superconducting states are states of superconductivity rooted in physical processes that do not conform with the conventional theory of superconductivity, namely Bardeen, Cooper and Schrieffer (BCS) theory. ...
