A proof of odd-parity superconductivity
Superconductivity is a fascinating state of matter in which an electrical current can flow without any resistance. Usually, it can exist in two forms. One is destroyed easily with a magnetic field and has "even parity" (i.e., it has a point symmetric.....»»
Perseverance rover finds organic molecules in Mars’s Jezero Crater
The molecules are associated with life but can be created by other processes. So they aren't proof there was life there, but they are life's building blocks......»»
Apple introduces offline Maps—but how does it compare with Google Maps?
Comparing offline modes between Apple Maps and Google Maps is a tight contest. Enlarge / With offline maps, Apple has achieved parity with Google Maps on this one feature after eight years. (credit: Samuel Axon) Apple Ma.....»»
Proof humans reshaped the world? Chickens
When aliens or our distant progeny sift through layers of sediment 500,000 years from now to decode the Earth's past, they will find unusual evidence of the abrupt change that upended life half-a-million years earlier: chicken bones......»»
First direct visualization of a zero-field pair density wave
In the field of superconductivity—the phenomenon in which electrons can flow through a material with essentially zero resistance—the "holy grail" of discovery is a superconductor that can perform under everyday temperatures and pressures. Such a.....»»

Physicists discover a new switch for superconductivity
Under certain conditions—usually exceedingly cold ones—some materials shift their structure to unlock new, superconducting behavior. This structural shift is known as a "nematic transition," and physicists suspect that it offers a new way to driv.....»»

Mathematicians Find Hidden Structure in a Common Type of Space
In 50 years of searching, mathematicians found only one example of a “subspace design” that fit their criteria. A new proof reveals that there are infinitely more......»»
Best Buy’s deal of the day is an 8K TV for less than you’d think
8k content isn't that common, but having a future-proof screen with the high pixel density of the Samsung QN800 is excellent, and you can get it for $1,100 off......»»
Researchers offer new guide to the future of plastics
How does a future-proof, circular and sustainable plastics economy look like? The answer is a balance ranging from plastics reduction to a sustainable use of recyclable plastics. After all, the increasing demand for plastics in high-value application.....»»
Proof that part of the Roman Empire smelled of patchouli
A research team at the University of Cordoba has identified, for the first time, the composition of a Roman perfume more than 2,000 years old thanks to the discovery of a small vessel of ointment in Carmona......»»

Theoretical study offers proof that one parallel world cannot be extremely different from the other
Theoretical string theory in theoretical physics predicts the existence of parallel worlds (mirror symmetry prediction). These two worlds (A-side and B-side) are supposed to differ in terms of the six-dimensional spaces (A and B) hidden in each world.....»»

"Charge density wave" linked to atomic distortions in would-be superconductor
What makes some materials carry current with no resistance? Scientists are trying to unravel the complex characteristics. Harnessing this property, known as superconductivity, could lead to perfectly efficient power lines, ultrafast computers, and a.....»»
Replication of room-temperature superconductor claims fails to show superconductivity
A team of physicists at Nanjing University, attempting to replicate the superconductivity results from an experiment conducted by a team at the University of Rochester, produced the desired material but also found that it was not superconductive. In.....»»
