A New Direction to Search for Higher Tc Superconductors

One of the most inexplicable phenomena in nature is superconductivity because the materials can conduct electrical current with no resistance.

Researchers Report Curious Multi-State Transitions of Superconductors

Traditionally, it was considered that when sufficiently large magnetic fields were applied, it leads to the interruption of superconducting states in materials even at dramatically low temperature, thus altering them directly into insulators.

Astronomers Determine the Exact Location of One-Off Burst of Cosmic Radio Waves

For the first time, the exact location of a powerful one-off burst of cosmic radio waves has been established by an Australian-led international team of astronomers. This breakthrough finding was made with CSIRO’s latest Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) radio telescope installed in Western Australia.

Scientists Demonstrate the Behavior of Interacting Electrons at Atomic Level

For the last century, materials like silicon and gold have been channels to the force which has fueled civilization—electronics. The electrons’ behavior in all such traditional materials is simple, that is, they mostly ignore one another.

Physicists Measure Ultra-Small Motion by Supersizing “Quantum Squeezing”

By harnessing the phenomenon of “quantum squeezing,” physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have successfully amplified and determined trillionths-of-a-meter motions of a single trapped magnesium ion, that is, electrically charged atom.
