5+ hour, 6+ min ago   (602+ words) Superconducting materials can carry electricity with zero heat loss, which is potentially revolutionary for power grids, computer systems, and more – and which makes them of great interest to scientists. To use them widely and practically, however, we need to know…...

2+ hour, 10+ min ago   (474+ words) A MANA researcher has developed a theoretical framework that infers the hierarchical disorder hidden in moiré heterostructures from spatial correlations of photoluminescence spectral descriptors, without assigning individual spectral peaks....

7+ hour, 56+ min ago   (300+ words) The study was published in the journal Optica and coordinated by the dean of the faculty, Professor Claudio Giannetti, director of the Interdisciplinary Laboratories for Advanced Materials Physics (ILAMP). The new microscope can track phenomena that occur over incredibly short…...

14+ hour, 6+ min ago   (1256+ words) The Original Article was published on 06 October 2026 The Original Article was published on 09 June 2022 At lower temperatures, however, the deviation points for H3S sample shifted into the noisy field range. This behavior arises from the large lower critical field Hc1 in H3S (or…...

16+ hour, 57+ min ago   (332+ words) Electron microscopes are windows into the atomic world, creating images that can reveal the atomic arrangements within biological tissues or crystalline solids. But the electron beam that unveils this hidden world also changes it—sometimes in damaging ways. All interviews…...

22+ hour, 17+ min ago   (308+ words) Two ultrashort laser pulses crossed in space have unlocked previously inaccessible electron states. To build the fields, the team shaped two femtosecond laser pulses, each lasting only a few millionths of a billionth of a second, and sent them toward…...
