Physicists solve mysteries of microtubule movers

Active matter is any collection of materials or systems composed of individual units that can move on their own, thanks to self-propulsion or autonomous motion. They can be of any size—think clouds of bacteria in a petri ...

Comparing 'sister' compounds may hold key to quantum puzzle in superconducting materials

For years, physicists have been trying to explain a quantum phenomenon that occurs in a large class of superconducting materials: Electrons in so-called "strange metals" scatter at high rates in ways affected by temperature. ...

Quantum-enhanced detection for chip-scale wireless communications

The demand for fast data sharing and processing has sparked a race for greater bandwidth in wireless communication systems. This is described by Edholm's Law, which states that bandwidth and data rates roughly double every ...

Researchers produce polymers from ballbot-type carbenes for the first time

N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are small, reactive ring molecules that bond well with metallic surfaces, and which over the past few years have attracted a great deal of interest in the field of the stable chemical modification ...

Visualizing the microscopic phases of magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene

A Princeton University-led team of scientists has imaged the precise microscopic underpinnings responsible for many quantum phases observed in a material known as magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG). This remarkable ...

Demon hunting: Physicists confirm 67-year-old prediction of massless, neutral composite particle

In 1956, theoretical physicist David Pines predicted that electrons in a solid can do something strange. While they normally have a mass and an electric charge, Pines asserted that they can combine to form a composite particle ...

Physicists open new path to an exotic form of superconductivity

Physicists have identified a mechanism for the formation of oscillating superconductivity known as pair-density waves. Physical Review Letters published the discovery, which provides new insight into an unconventional, high-temperature ...
