Physicists find that an ultrahigh-energy proton looks like a black disk
(PhysOrg.com) -- What does a proton look like? The common answer to this question is that protons are much too small to scatter light, and since light is necessary for us to see things, protons do not “look” ...

Once thought a rival phase, antiferromagnetism coexists with superconductivity
High-temperature superconductivity can be looked at as a fight for survival at the atomic scale. In an effort to reach that point where electrons pair up and resistance is reduced to zero, superconductivity must compete with ...
