Under pressures that would crush a car into scrap, a long standing mystery about how some of the most extreme superconductors actually work is finally giving way. By combining new measurement tricks ...

RIKEN physicists have discovered for the first time why the magnitude of the electron flow depends on direction in a special ...

NIMS, in joint research with the University of Tokyo, AIST, the University of Osaka, and Tohoku University, have proposed a ...

A shiny gray crystal called platinum-bismuth-two hides an electronic world unlike anything scientists have seen before.

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...

Conduction is the direct flow of heat from your warm body into your colder surroundings. In winter, all that heat escaping ...

Ultracold atoms have successfully mimicked a fundamental quantum effect normally found in electronic circuits.

Scientists in the United States have created a small device that produces a tiny electrical signal from Earth’s natural rotation. Although the voltage is extremely small, the experiment shows that ...
