A 2017 report of the discovery of a particular kind of Majorana fermion — the chiral Majorana fermion, referred to as the “angel particle” —…
This image, magnified 25,000 times, shows a section of a prototype accelerator-on-a-chip. The segment shown here are one-tenth the width of a human. The oddly…
Crystallization is the physical phenomenon of the transformation of disordered molecules in a liquid or gas phase into a highly ordered solid crystal through two…
Anomalies in nuclear physics experiments may show signs of a new force. A team of scientists in Hungary recently published a paper that hints at…
A miscalculated Fluids Lab demonstration leads to a new understanding of how particles accumulate in lakes and oceans. A team of mathematicians from the University…
This is an artistic representation of an x-ray interacting with layers containing different orbital character. Ionic character orbitals are colored green; while covalent character orbitals…

At left, natural diamonds glow under ultraviolet light owing to their various nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers. At right, a schematic depicting the diamond anvils in action,…
A schematic diagram of formation and measurement of molecular junctions of oligofluorenes. Oligofluorene molecular wires can be synthesized with high efficiency and high purity, and…
A SLAC-led team has invented a method, called XLEAP, that generates powerful low-energy X-ray laser pulses that are only 280 attoseconds, or billionths of a…

An obstacle to generating fusion reactions inside facilities called tokamaks is that producing the current in plasma that helps create confining magnetic fields happens in…
A simulation of electrons at different energies scattering off atomic defects like those in samarium hexabroide. By observing such waves, the researchers measured the electron’s…
Reconstructed 3D photoelectron momentum distribution, together with a sketch of the polarization ellipse and the beam direction. (Adapted from Willenberg et al., Nat. Commun. 10,…
Researchers at Drexel University’s C&J Nyheim Plasma Institute have reported that liquid plasma can be used to produce an energy-dense material called polymeric nitrogen. Credit:…
Illustration of a nitrogen dioxide molecule (depicted in blue and purple) captured in a nano-size pore of an MFM-520 metal-organic framework material as observed using…
Tiny holes punched into a high-temperature superconducting material revealed that Cooper pairs, electron duos that enable superconductivity, can also conduct electricity the way metals do.…
