Physicists Learn to Superfreeze Antimatter (Hint: Pew Pew!)
Antimatter, the mysterious mirror-stuff of the universe, is hard to make and harder to study. A laser that literally chills it out could change all that......»»
Physicists report emergence of ferromagnetism at onset of Kondo breakdown in moiré bilayer lattices
Moiré superlattices are materials consisting of two layers stacked on top of each other with either a small rotational misalignment or a lattice mismatch between them. The Kondo lattice model, on the other hand, describes systems in which conduction.....»»
