Special graphite flakes are defying conventional thought in physics by showing that a material can be a superconductor and a magnet at the same time.
The spin fluctuations of an insulating quantum magnet determine how electricity flows in a nearby metal film.
The 2D material cerium silicon iodide contains the same heavy electrons responsible for heavy fermion physics, something so far seen only in 3D materials.
Researchers have learned how to retain superconductivity at ambient pressure in a new class of high temperature superconductors.

A novel type of radiation-detecting scintillator could lead to benefits for medicine, national security, and particle physics.
Scientists characterize a promethium coordination complex for the first time, furthering the understanding of difficult-to-study lanthanide elements.
The shape of tiny silver seeds made of fewer than 200 atoms depends on their precise size and temperature and defines the shape of the final nanoparticle.
Strange metals defy the 60-year-old understanding of electric current as a flow of discrete charges.
Inorganic precursors chosen based on new criteria led to higher phase purity for 32 out of 35 target materials synthesized in a robotic laboratory.
