Researchers Confirm Pseudogap as Distinct Phase of Matter

One of the greatest mysteries of experimental physics is how so-called high-temperature superconducting materials work. Despite their name, high-temperature superconductors -- materials that carry electrical current with no resistance -- operate at chilly temperatures less than minus 135 degrees Celsius.

Researchers Derive a Formula to Track Flow of Quantum Information

If objects in motion are like rainwater flowing through a gutter and landing in a puddle, then quantum objects in motion are like rainwater that might end up in a bunch of puddles, all at once. Figuring out where quantum objects actually go has frustrated scientists for years.

Fast Radio Bursts Could Help Astronomers Understand Cosmic Web

Fast radio bursts, or FRBs, are mysterious flashes of radio waves originating outside our Milky Way galaxy. A team of scientists, jointly led by Caltech postdoctoral scholar Vikram Ravi and Curtin University research fellow Ryan Shannon, has now observed the most luminous FRB to date, called FRB 150807.
