Nuclear pasta may offer insight into strange world of neutron stars
(Phys.org)—Neutron stars, which form when massive stars collapse under their own enormous gravity, are some of the densest objects in the universe, second only to black holes. Yet while little is known about the interiors ...
Magnetic bubbles behave differently than other magnetic defects (w/ video)
(Phys.org)—Magnetism may be one of the most fundamental concepts in physics, but under the surface, magnetism holds complex secrets that scientists are still trying to unravel. One of these areas involves the dynamics of ...
Method enables material to carry more electrical current without resistance at a higher temperature
Iron-based superconductors can conduct electricity without resistance at unusually high temperatures relative to those of conventional superconductors, which must be chilled to near absolute zero (minus 459 degrees Fahrenheit) ...

Best of Last Week – Detecting dark matter with GPS, a gel that stops bleeding and the benefits of fasting
(Phys.org) —It was an interesting time for physics last week as one team of researchers suggested that elusive dark matter may be detected with GPS satellites. They propose testing the idea that dark matter is arranged ...
Imaging technique reveals electronic charges with single-atom resolution
Materials typically conduct electricity or insulate against it—so experimental and theoretical physicists have been captivated by a compound called samarium hexaboride (SmB6) that appears to do both. Numerous studies over ...

How semiconductor defects could boost quantum technology
In diamonds (and other semiconducting materials), defects are a quantum sensor's best friend. That's because defects, essentially a jostled arrangement of atoms, sometimes contain electrons with an angular momentum, or spin, ...

A new 2-D magnet draws future devices closer
We are all familiar with the image of electrons zipping around an atom's nucleus and forming chemical bonds in molecules and materials. But what is less known is that electrons have an additional unique property: spin. It ...
