Promising evidence of deuterium forming into a metallic state at high pressure
A trio of researchers at the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission has shown promising evidence of deuterium forming into a metallic state at high pressure. In their paper published in the journal Physical Review Letters, Paul Loub.....»»
Graphene scientists capture first images of atoms "swimming" in liquid
Graphene scientists from The University of Manchester have created a novel "nano-petri dish" using two-dimensional (2D) materials to create a new method of observing how atoms move in liquid......»»
The observation of Chern mosaic and Berry-curvature magnetism in magic angle graphene
Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science, the Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology and the National Institute for Material Science in Tsukuba (Japan) have recently probed a Chern mosaic topology and Berry-curvature magnetism in magic.....»»
Buckyballs on gold are less exotic than graphene
Graphene consists of carbon atoms that crosslink in a plane to form a flat honeycomb structure. In addition to surprisingly high mechanical stability, the material has exciting electronic properties. The electrons behave like massless particles, whic.....»»
Physicists Discover a "Family" of Robust, Superconducting Graphene Structures
In 2018, MIT researchers found that if two graphene layers are stacked at a very specific "magic" angle, the twisted bilayer structure could exhibit robust superconductivity, a widely sought material state in which an electrical current can flow thro.....»»
Flashing creates hard-to-get 2D boron nitride
Rice University scientists who "flash" materials to synthesize substances like graphene have turned their attention to boron nitride, highly valued for its thermal and chemical stability......»»
Physicists discover a "family" of robust, superconducting graphene structures
When it comes to graphene, it appears that superconductivity runs in the family......»»
Unusual superconductivity observed in twisted trilayer graphene
The ability to turn superconductivity off and on with a literal flip of a switch in so-called "magic-angle twisted graphene" has allowed engineers at Caltech to observe an unusual phenomenon that may shed new light on superconductivity in general......»»
76 million-year-old dinosaur skeleton to be auctioned in NYC
The fossilized skeleton of a T. rex relative that roamed the earth about 76 million years ago will be auctioned in New York this month, Sotheby's announced Tuesday......»»
Commvault expands its partnership with Oracle to accelerate enterprise hybrid cloud adoption

Wild tomato genome will benefit domesticated cousins
A team of researchers has assembled a reference genome for Solanum lycopersicoides, a wild relative of the cultivated tomato, and developed web-based tools to help plant researchers and breeders improve the crop......»»
"Hot" graphene reveals migration of carbon atoms
The migration of carbon atoms on the surface of the nanomaterial graphene was recently measured for the first time. Although the atoms move too swiftly to be directly observed with an electron microscope, their effect on the stability of the material.....»»
Amazon feature has Alexa speaking in voice of late relative
Whether you find it comforting or creepy depends on your disposition, but Amazon has found a way to get Alexa to speak in the voice of a deceased relative......»»
Zinc oxide/graphene oxide nanocomposites can efficiently inhibit cadmium-induced hepatotoxicity
A research team led by Profs. Xu An and Liu Yun from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has demonstrated the effective, specific and safe detoxification effect and its related mechanism of zinc o.....»»
New clues about how hot Jupiters form
Since the first hot Jupiter was discovered in 1995, astronomers have been trying to figure out how the searing-hot exoplanets formed and arrived in their extreme orbits. Johns Hopkins University astronomers have found a way to determine the relative.....»»
Physicists Discover Never-Before Seen Particle Sitting On a Tabletop
Researchers have discovered a new particle that is a magnetic relative of the Higgs boson. Whereas the discovery of the Higgs boson required the tremendous particle-accelerating power of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), this never-before-seen particl.....»»
