Modified wood Researchers at Linköping University, together with colleagues from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology, have developed the world’s first electrical transistor made of wood. (Courtesy: ...

Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

Scientists have shown that it may be possible to transform materials simply by triggering internal quantum ripples rather ...

Charge density waves (CDWs) are ordered, crystal-like patterns in the arrangement of electrons that spontaneously form inside ...

Physicists have assembled one of the largest and most intricate time crystals yet, using IBM’s latest quantum hardware to ...

Scientists are learning how to temporarily reshape materials by nudging their internal quantum rhythms instead of blasting ...

A groundbreaking new material bends the rules of physics by combining surprising strength with impressive stretch. Scientists have long faced a trade-off in materials science: the stiffer something is ...

(The Conversation) – As the weather grows cold this winter, you may be one of the many Americans pulling their winter jackets out of the closet. Not only can this extra layer keep you warm on a chilly ...

Remarkably, these experiments revealed that molybdenum ditelluride can exhibit superconductivity and magnetism at the same time. Since superconductivity usually relies on electron pairing that can be ...

Copper, platinum, aluminum, gold. Metals have been so important in human history that we’ve named historical epochs (the Bronze Age, the Iron Age) for their transformative power. These materials, with ...

For the first time, scientists have observed electrons in graphene behaving like a nearly perfect quantum fluid, challenging a long-standing puzzle in physics. By creating ultra-clean samples, the ...
