A new room-temperature quantum device developed at Stanford uses twisted light and advanced materials to link photons and electrons. Modern quantum computers are typically large, costly systems that ...

For the first time, scientists have figured out how to measure a system, no matter how extreme the energy difference. Two UA physicists may have fundamentally altered thinking about thermodynamics, a ...

For decades, scientists quested after a room-temperature superconductor. Now that they’ve finally found one, the hunt is on for an even better material. Until last year, all known superconductors — ...

First discovered by Dutch physicist Heike Onnes in the early 20th century, superconductivity is a rare phenomenon observed in metallic materials where its resistance to electrons flow was lost at ...

When some materials are cooled to a certain temperature, they lose electric resistance, becoming superconductors. When some materials are cooled to a certain temperature, they lose electric resistance ...

Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) is normally limited to temperatures near absolute zero but researchers have now seen it at a much warmer 100 Kelvin for excitons (electron-hole pairs) in atomically ...

Experimental setup for thermoelectric cooling. Courtesy: Jun Mao, University of Houston Researchers have fabricated a room-temperature thermoelectric material that is as good as the best commercially ...
