In the past year, two separate experiments in two different materials captured the same confounding scenario: the coexistence ...

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 ...

This video presents a series of engaging and simple experiments demonstrating the principles of magnetism Experts link widely ...

Artificial intelligence has just cracked a problem that has frustrated condensed matter theorists for decades, turning a long-standing maze in frustrated magnet physics into a solved benchmark. By ...

The fund seeks to enable researchers to make leaps rather than incremental advances in the natural sciences and engineering.

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

Experiments show Josephson junction-like behavior can arise with only one superconductor, challenging the standard two-superconductor model.

A new technique allows complex interactions in materials to be simulated using Monte Carlo simulations thousands of times ...
