By squeezing terahertz light beyond its usual limits, researchers have exposed hidden quantum "jiggles" inside a ...

Attempts to break the diffraction limit with 'super lenses' have all hit the hurdle of extreme visual losses. Now physicists have shown a new pathway to achieve superlensing with minimal losses, ...

With the terahertz scope, the team observed a frictionless “superfluid” of superconducting electrons that were collectively ...

The implications of the breakthrough could ripple through multiple industries. A better understanding of how superconductivity behaves at quantum scales could accelerate the development of ...

India, Feb. 9 -- You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light you shine at it: Optical light illuminates a material's surface, while X-rays reveal its internal structures and ...

A long-standing problem in seeing fast electron motion is solved, opening new paths for better superconductors and faster ...

Blasting meteorite samples with CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron, the team found that the material "became stronger". That ...

This novel terahertz microscope from MIT enables the observation of superconducting electron dynamics, crucial for future ...

The superconducting gap sets the basic energy scale that allows electricity to flow without resistance in a superconductor. In high‑temperature cuprates, the paired electrons (Cooper pairs) are mostly ...

The use of paper mill sludge ash in geocrete optimizes performance, demonstrating a viable approach to sustainable construction and industrial waste management.

When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells. The spindle is the machinery behind that process: It latches onto ...
