Water passes through human-made straws faster than the “gold standard” protein, allowing us to filter seawater.
An electric field switches the conductivity on and off in atomic-scale channels, which could allow for upgrades at will.
A revolutionary material harbors magnetism and massless electrons that travel near the speed of light—for future ultrasensitive, high-efficiency electronics and sensors.
Machine learning and neural networks are the foundation of artificial intelligence and image recognition, but now they offer a bridge to see and recognize exotic insulating phases in quantum materials.
Observed atomic dynamics helps explain bizarre flow without friction that has been puzzling scientists for decades.
Electrons are forced to the edge of the road on a thin sheet of tungsten ditelluride.
Detector measures the energy a neutrino imparts to protons and neutrons to help explain the nature of matter and the universe.
Microwave heating significantly alters Alfvén waves, offering insights into the physics of the waves themselves.
International collaborators advance physics basis for tokamak plasma confinement at low rotation, potentially benefiting a fusion reactor.
Large-scale simulations of quarks promise precise view of reactions of astrophysical importance.
Gravitational wave observations combined with optical and gamma-ray data confirm earlier predictions, offer insights into how the galaxy produces lead, mercury, and other elements.
