Superconductors (materials that conduct electricity without resistance) have fascinated physicists for more than a century. While conventional superconductors are well understood, a new class of ...

To study the interactions between electrons in a material, physicists have come up with a number of tricks over the years. These interactions are interesting, amongst other things, because they lead ...

A 3D-printed piezoelectric metamaterial uses topology-driven charge transport to locate underwater sound sources from a single compact transducer, replacing bulky hydrophone arrays.

Researchers at Okayama University used high-resolution synchrotron X-ray diffraction to detect tiny lattice distortions (about 100 parts per million) emerging as the topological superconductor Cu x ...
