In so-called strong TIs, these states are protected and so featured on all surfaces. In weak TIs however, these properties are only protected at surfaces with…
In principle, such magnets can greatly simplify the design and production of twisty fusion facilities called stellarators, according to scientists at the U.S….
“One could say that this planet gets rainy in the evening, except it rains iron,” says David Ehrenreich, a professor at the University of Geneva in…
Dr Ivan Valerievich Borzenets, Assistant Professor at CityU's Department of Physics, collaborated with scientists from Germany, Japan, and Korea on achieving…
To observe molecules, one has to use sensitive tools. Such measurements would be important for determining the concentration of minute particles in blood…
The condensed-matter physics world was shaken up when high-temperature superconductivity was reported in a copper oxide material in 1986 by Alex Müller and…
The single-cell organism, known as slime mold (Physarum polycephalum), builds complex filamentary networks in search of food, finding near-optimal pathways to…
Quantum technology has the potential to enable revolutionary technological applications. However, conventional computers lack the power to calculate the…
Today, there is a great effort to scale down magnetic memory towards nanometer-sized bits in order to ultimately store information in a single magnetic atom….
Researchers from the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have made a promising new advance for the lab's high-speed “electron camera”…
While quantum physics is usually concerned with the basic building blocks of light and matter, for some time scientists have now been trying to investigate the…
Physicists have unraveled a mystery behind the strange behavior of electrons in a ferromagnet, a finding that could eventually help develop high temperature…
Physicists from Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) in Bavaria, Germany, in cooperation with the Technical University of Sydney in Australia have now…
47 Tucanae, or 47 Tuc as it is usually called, is a spectacular globular cluster visible with the naked eye in the constellation “Tucana” in the southern sky…
When an exoplanet transits in front of its host star, astronomers may be able to record both the dimming of the starlight that the planet blocks and also the…
Although boron nitride looks very similar to graphene in structure, it has completely different optoelectronic properties. Its constituents, the elements boron…
