A newly discovered type of superconductor is also a magnet
Magnets and superconductors go together like oil and water—or so scientists have thought. But a new finding by MIT physicists is challenging this century-old assumption.

What if the magnon Hall effect, which processes information using magnons (spin waves) capable of current-free information transfer with magnets, could overcome its current limitation of being possible only on a 2D plane? ...
When two-dimensional electron systems are subjected to magnetic fields at low temperatures, they can exhibit interesting states of matter, such as fractional quantum Hall liquids. These are exotic states of matter characterized ...
Rutgers University–New Brunswick researchers have discovered a new class of materials—called intercrystals—with unique electronic properties that could power future technologies.
The clean energy transition requires new means to transport energy that are less reliant on burning fossil fuels. This requires new materials to catalyze reactions to store and extract energy from chemical energy carriers ...
A research team from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in collaboration with North Carolina State University, has developed a simulation capable of predicting how tens of thousands of electrons move ...
A broad systematic review has revealed that quantum computing applications in health care remain more theoretical than practical, despite growing excitement in the field.
One of the most profound open questions in modern physics is: "Is gravity quantum?" The other fundamental forces—electromagnetic, weak, and strong—have all been successfully described, but no complete and consistent quantum ...
Artificial intelligence (AI) agents and large-language models (LLMs), such as the model underpinning OpenAI's conversational platform ChatGPT, are now widely used by people worldwide, both in informal and professional settings. ...
Scientists studying a promising quantum material have stumbled upon a surprise: within its crystal structure, the material naturally forms one of the world's thinnest semiconductor junctions—a building block of most modern ...
