In many quantum materials—materials with unusual electrical and magnetic properties driven by quantum mechanical effects—electrons can organize themselves into Landau levels. Landau levels are ...
EPFL researchers have shown theoretically that, in highly ordered materials, heat can flow toward warmer regions without violating the laws of thermodynamics. Their work could help design electronics ...
A series of quantum physics experiments and theoretical papers now suggest that heat can flow spontaneously from a cold ...
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory have set a new fusion record on the WEST tokamak, sustaining plasma at roughly 50 million degrees Celsius for six ...
A team of chemists at the University of California, Santa Barbara, has developed a new material capable of capturing sunlight ...
Scientists have spent years fracking outside Milford, jamming chemicals and water into the earth to break rock with the same technique that’s drawn controversy to the oil and gas industry. In April, ...
