Science can be difficult to explain to the public. In fact, any subfield of science can be difficult to explain to another scientist who studies in a different area. Explaining a theoretical science ...

Just like a book can't be judged by its cover, a material can't always be judged by its surface. But, for an elusive conjectured class of materials, physicists have now shown that the surface ...

Explaining a theoretical science concept to high school students requires a new way of thinking altogether, which is precisely what researchers did when they orchestrated a dance with high school ...

A stunning new breakthrough has just been made in the world of ultrafast electronics. Imagine a material changing from an insulator to a metal in less than the blink of an eye—and we’re not talking ...

Researchers at Peking University and collaborators have revealed evidence of Mott insulator with thermally induced melting behavior in kagome compound Nb₃Cl₈. Using graphene-based chemical potential ...

Topological crystalline insulators are materials in which the crystalline symmetry leads to topologically protected surface states with a chiral spin texture, rendering them potential candidates for ...

A new fusion of materials, each with special electrical properties, has all the components required for a unique type of superconductivity that could provide the basis for more robust quantum ...
