  • You’ve never seen atoms like this before: A hidden motion revealed
    A pioneering team at the University of Maryland has captured the first-ever images of atomic thermal vibrations, unlocking an unseen world of motion within two-dimensional materials. Their innovative electron ptychography technique revealed elusive “moiré phasons,” a long-theorized phenomenon that governs heat, electronic behavior, and structural order at the atomic level. This discovery not only confirms […]
  • This Algorithm Just Solved One of Physics’ Most Infamous Problems
    Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and solve the long-standing polaron problem, unlocking deeper understanding of electron flow in tricky materials.
  • A simple twist unlocks never-before-seen quantum behavior
    Scientists have discovered a revolutionary new method for creating quantum states by twisting materials at the M-point, revealing exotic phenomena previously out of reach. This new direction dramatically expands the moiré toolkit and may soon lead to the experimental realization of long-sought quantum spin liquids.
  • Scientists just recreated a 1938 experiment that could rewrite fusion history
    A groundbreaking collaboration between Los Alamos scientists and Duke University has resurrected a nearly forgotten 1938 experiment that may have quietly sparked the age of fusion energy. Arthur Ruhlig, a little-known physicist, first observed signs of deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion nearly a decade before its significance became clear in nuclear science. The modern team not only […]
  • This breakthrough turns old tech into pure gold — No mercury, no cyanide, just light and salt
    At Flinders University, scientists have cracked a cleaner and greener way to extract gold—not just from ore, but also from our mounting piles of e-waste. By using a compound normally found in pool disinfectants and a novel polymer that can be reused, the method avoids toxic chemicals like mercury and cyanide. It even works on […]
  • Self-lighting chip uses quantum tunneling to spot a trillionth of a gram
    Imagine detecting a single trillionth of a gram of a molecule—like an amino acid—using just electricity and a chip smaller than your fingernail. That’s the power of a new quantum-enabled biosensor developed at EPFL. Ditching bulky lasers, it taps into the strange world of quantum tunneling, where electrons sneak through barriers and release light in […]
Illustration of a futuristic battle scene between two armored warriors symbolizing MOSFET and IGBT. The MOSFET side features a sleek, agile figure wielding a glowing sword in a tech-blue environment, while the IGBT side shows a bulky, powerful mech-like figure firing from a heavy arm cannon in an industrial orange setting. The image represents the comparison between MOSFETs and IGBTs in power electronics.
