Chaotic electrons heed "limit" in strange metals
Electrons in metals try to behave like obedient motorists, but they end up more like bumper cars. They may be reckless drivers, but a new Cornell-led study confirms this chaos has a limit established by the laws of quantum mechanics......»»
Another annoying bug is spoiling the fun in Windows 11 24H2
A new glitch in Windows 11 24H2 results in strange behavior for the File File Explorer, making the app difficult to use. Here are the details......»»
Another way to extract energy from black holes?
The gravitational field of a rotating black hole is powerful and strange. It is so powerful that it warps space and time back upon itself, and it is so strange that even simple concepts such as motion and rotation are turned on their heads. Understan.....»»
Facebook, Nvidia push SCOTUS to limit “nuisance” investor suits after scandals
Facebook, Nvidia ask SCOTUS to narrow legal paths to retrieve investor losses. The Supreme Court will soon weigh two cases that could potentially make it harder for misled investo.....»»
Researchers spot black hole feeding at 40x its theoretical limit
Similar feeding events could explain the rapid growth of supermassive black holes. How did supermassive black holes end up at the center of every galaxy? A while back, it wasn't t.....»»
Revealing the superconducting limit of twisted bilayer graphene
Graphene is a simple material containing only a single layer of carbon atoms, but when two sheets of it are stacked together and offset at a slight angle, this twisted bilayer material produces numerous intriguing effects, notably superconductivity......»»
Nations gather for crunch climate talks in shadow of US vote
World leaders kick off UN climate talks next week, days after a knife edge US election that could send shockwaves through global efforts to limit dangerous warming......»»

This is what it sounds like when the Earth"s poles flip
Is there something strange and alien confined deep inside the Earth? Is it trying to break free and escape into the heavens? No, of course not......»»
What Made This Bizarre ‘Dandelion’ Supernova?
A strange supernova remnant first appeared as a “guest star” seen in 1181 by sky watchers in China and Japan.....»»
A novel state of thorium opens the possibility for a nuclear clock
Why are there atomic clocks but no nuclear clocks? After all, an atom's nucleus is typically surrounded by many electrons, so in principle it should be less susceptible to outside noise (in the form of light). A nucleus, for high-atomic number atoms,.....»»
Discovery challenges existing theories of magnetism in kagome metals
A discovery by Rice University physicists and collaborators is unlocking a new understanding of magnetism and electronic interactions in cutting-edge materials, potentially revolutionizing technology fields such as quantum computing and high-temperat.....»»
Protecting northern water supplies from toxic metals in thawing permafrost
As the climate warms and Arctic permafrost thaws, some of the toxic elements locked away in it are starting to emerge and could contaminate the water supplies that many northern communities rely on......»»
Quantum simulator could help uncover materials for high-performance electronics
Quantum computers hold the promise to emulate complex materials, helping researchers better understand the physical properties that arise from interacting atoms and electrons. This may one day lead to the discovery or design of better semiconductors,.....»»
Astrophysicists measure "dance" of electrons in the glow from exploding neutron stars
The temperature of elementary particles has been observed in the radioactive glow following the collision of two neutron stars and the birth of a black hole. This has, for the first time, made it possible to measure the microscopic, physical properti.....»»
Polymer"s long spin relaxation time helps researchers gain spintronic insights
Electrons spin even without an electric charge and this motion in condensed matter constitutes spin current, which is attracting a great deal of attention for next-generation technology such as memory devices. An Osaka Metropolitan University-led res.....»»
Changing climate could increase mobility of toxic metals in soils, experimental study shows
The changes scientists expect in the climate could cause toxic metals naturally occurring in soils to become more mobile, destabilize ecosystems and increasingly enter the human food chain via agriculture. Such scenarios are particularly likely to oc.....»»
