A new class of superconductors has been identified, demonstrating the ability to conduct electricity without resistance at a temperature of 45 kelvin (-228°C) and under normal atmospheric pressure. Research conducted at the Southern University of Science and Technology (Sustech) in Shenzhen, China, has led to this discovery in nickel oxide-based compounds. This advancement could significantly […]
Efforts to study antimatter have progressed with new precision measurements conducted by an international team of researchers at CERN. The ALPHA experiment has been focused on antihydrogen, the antimatter counterpart of hydrogen, to understand its fundamental properties. The latest findings have allowed scientists to measure an electronic transition in antihydrogen with increased accuracy, which could […]
A compact neutrino detector has successfully identified antineutrinos at a nuclear power plant, marking a significant advancement in particle physics. Unlike conventional detectors that require massive infrastructure, this device weighs less than three kilograms. Despite its size, it effectively detected antineutrinos emitted from a nuclear reactor in Leibstadt, Switzerland. The experiment, which lasted 119 days, […]
A new study has allowed physicists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and collaborators to measure the quantum geometry of electrons in solids. The research provides insights into the shape and behaviour of electrons within crystalline materials at a quantum level. Quantum geometry, which had previously been limited to theoretical predictions, has now been […]
