One day, tiny swimming robots may travel through the human body to deliver drugs. The medication would target only areas of need—chemotherapy drugs for a tumor, for example—avoiding healthy tissue and minimizing side effects. A research team led by Ebru Demir, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering and mechanics in Lehigh University’s P.C. Rossin College…
Plutonium is one of the most complex elements in the periodic table. First synthesized and isolated in 1940 by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, plutonium has been studied closely for more than eight decades. It’s most often associated with its role in nuclear security, but it’s also vital to nuclear power, where it…
Researchers have shown that ultracold atoms can be driven into a strange new quantum state called a fractional Fermi sea, where particles organize themselves in unexpected ways. The discovery points to a new phase of matter that goes beyond established quantum theories and could expand the possibilities of quantum simulation.
Magnetic quantum oscillations have been unexpectedly observed in insulators, where freely moving charge carriers are not expected to exist. A joint study by researchers from Tokyo University of Science, The University of Tokyo and Kobe University investigated this puzzling behavior in the Kondo insulator YbB12 using ultrasound.
A newly proposed quantum sensing technique could make it much easier to identify one of physics’ newest and most intriguing classes of magnets: altermagnets. These unusual materials, discovered only a few years ago, appear to combine the speed and efficiency of antiferromagnets with some of the useful electronic properties of traditional magnets, making them promising…
Recent research into ultracold dynamics of spin ices reveals fascinating behaviors at near absolute zero. Scientists are probing how these materials respond to quantum effects, potentially unlocking new technologies in quantum computing and materials science.
New research highlights the emergence of “plastic ice,” a concerning byproduct of pollution found in polar regions. This phenomenon poses risks to marine life and ecosystems, prompting urgent calls for environmental action and sustainable practices.
Researchers have developed organic photovoltaic solar cells designed to endure harsh space environments. These innovative cells promise enhanced efficiency and durability, potentially transforming solar energy applications beyond Earth.
