A team led by physicists Steffen Sahl and Stefan Hell at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Multidisciplinary Sciences in Göttingen and the MPI for Medical Research in Heidelberg has succeeded in measuring distances within biomolecules using a light.....»»
Scientists use light to visualize magnetic domains in quantum materials
When something draws us in like a magnet, we take a closer look. When magnets draw in physicists, they take a quantum look. Scientists from Osaka Metropolitan University and the University of Tokyo have successfully used light to visualize tiny magne.....»»
Lots to learn from at Maker Faire Bay Area
This article first appeared in the MakerEd.org newsletter. Describing what Maker Faire is to people who have never experienced it is difficult. I find pictures do a better job of explaining what it is than I can do with words. The core of Maker Fair.....»»
Physicists reveal nonlinear transport induced by quantum geometry in planar altermagnets
In recent years, many physicists and materials scientists have been studying a newly uncovered class of magnetic materials known as altermagnets. These materials exhibit a unique type of magnetism that differs from both conventional ferromagnetism an.....»»
