At the interface of light and matter, Natalie Banerji is using spectroscopy to advance technologies such as solar cells and bioelectronics.
Physicists create a quantum domain wall in the lab
Researchers have discovered how to create and manipulate a quantum object called a “domain wall”, which exhibits particle-like properties.
String theory fuzzballs resolve famous black hole paradox
Scientists have turned to string theory to better understand black holes, proposing they can be modeled as “fuzzballs” made up of interacting strings.
Intestinal patch delivered by wireless capsule

Revealing what’s beyond the 3D curvilinear architecture of reality
Predicting the properties of materials made easier through an understanding of their curvilinear geometries.
Precision makes perfect
Researchers enhance the capabilities of Penning ion traps, which will allow them to “sharpen the picture” of new phenomena in physics.
DeepMind solves 50-year-old challenge in predicting protein folding
Using their deep-learning program, AlphaFold, researchers predict the 3D structure of proteins using only their linear amino acid sequence, revolutionizing computational biology as we know it.
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.
Shirley Meng: “This is materials science, it is the bread and butter of our work”
The materials scientist talks about the challenges in finding work/life balance, her research in sustainable energy storage, and how Chinese calligraphy has shaped her way of thinking.
