Better radiation detectors with the inspiration from Tetris
The device, based on simple tetromino shapes, could determine the direction and distance of a radiation source, with fewer detector pixels.
Quantum sensors to image Meissner effect in hydride supercondutors
By adopting a device designed to create extremely high pressures into one that can sense magnetic fields, researchers have obtained evidence that a hydrogen-rich material is a superconductor, eliminating long-standing doubts.
Quantum crystal of frozen electrons visualized
Scientists have visualized the elusive Wigner crystal – a strange form of matter that has eluded direct detection for some 90 years.
Physicists discover a novel quantum state in an elemental solid
Physicists observed the hybridization of two forms of topological quantum behavior—edge states and surface states, which are two types of quantum two-dimensional electron systems.
Craving snacks after a meal? It might be food-seeking neurons, not an overactive appetite
A new UCLA study discovers cells that make mice pursue fatty foods even when they are not hungry
Strong magnetic fields spiraling at the edge of the Milky Way’s central black hole
Event Horizon Telescope has uncovered strong and organized magnetic fields spiraling from the edge of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*.
