“Artificial sun” breaks a new fusion record
New milestone in fusion energy made with China’s HL-2M Tokamak reactor.
Researchers in Sweden develop light emitters for quantum circuits
Photonics offer a natural link between communication and computation, providing a potential bridge to build a quantum internet.
Researchers use laser paintbrush to create miniature masterpieces
The new technique creates color on metal that can be changed, erased, and rewritten.
Researchers chill antimatter for the first time
By cooling antimatter to absolute zero, physicists may finally be able to answer questions that could fundamentally alter our understanding of the universe.
How does the structure of ice change around impurities?
On the molecular scale, ice is less ordered than you might think, but it turns out that some of that missing order can be recovered
Black holes take 2020 Nobel prize in physics
Three laureates share this year’s Nobel prize in physics for their discoveries about one of the most exotic phenomena in the universe: the black hole.
How sticky gold could “pull off” the next big thing in semiconductor technology
Pressing a layered crystal onto a gold surface is all it takes to pull off a 2D atomic layer, a method that outperforms scotch tape on industrially relevant scales.
Imagining how “synthetic topology” could reform carbon dioxide catalysis
Solid-state physicists and materials chemists are now in excellent “shape” to expand and accelerate their explorations of the science of topological materials for a wide range of possible applications.
