Fish, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and even a few mammals rely on magnetoreception for navigation. But the exact mechanism ...

Three PPPL researchers have earned the prestigious Kaul Foundation Prize for their groundbreaking work in fusion stability.

For decades, physicists taught that superconductivity and magnetism could not share the same space. One state should destroy ...

Quantum spin liquids are exotic states of matter in which spins (i.e., the intrinsic angular momentum of electrons) do not ...

While superconductors are known to induce weak superconducting behavior in nearby materials, the iron's induced behavior was ...

This device is known as a Josephson junction. It’s the foundational building block of quantum computers and advances of it ...

Artificial intelligence is colliding with a hard physical limit: the energy and heat of conventional chips. As models scale ...
