With even typically warm-weather states like Florida, Texas, and South Carolina covered in a blanket of snow and ice, a lot ...

A kind of umbilical cord between different quantum states can be found in some materials. Researchers at TU Wien have now ...

What if it were possible to change the nature of a material in a flash, turning it from an insulator into a metal within a fraction of a second? This is the feat achieved by chemists and ...

Experiment has now proved the existence of the predicted three-dimensional 'topological insulator' in the semiconducting alloy Bi 1−x Sb x. One of the triumphs of quantum mechanics in the ...

Mott insulators are a unique class of materials that defy conventional band theories of solids. Though they are expected to conduct electricity, they exhibit insulating properties, particularly at low ...

The discovery of a dual topological insulator introduces a new method for creating topological flat minibands through electron interactions, which offer a promising platform for exploring exotic ...

But its greatest service may have been as the insulator that made the underwater cable possible. In 1843 a Portuguese engineer, Jose d'Almeida, described a natural plastic material to the Royal ...

The Asset Recovery and Management Agency (ARMA), in cooperation with the Bureau of Economic Security (BES), has secured the ...

A research team led by Prof. PAN Jianwei, Prof. WAN Zhensheng and Prof. DENG Youjin from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) observed counterflow superfluidity in two-component ...
