Physicists have heated gold to over 19,000 Kelvin, more than 14 times its melting point, without melting it, smashing the long-standing “entropy catastrophe” limit. Using an ultra-fast laser pulse at ...
For the first time, scientists have observed electrons in graphene behaving like a nearly perfect quantum fluid, challenging a long-standing puzzle in physics. By creating ultra-clean samples, the ...
As artificial intelligence explodes in popularity, two of its pioneers have nabbed the 2024 Nobel Prize in physics. The prize surprised many, as these developments are typically associated with ...
Lise Meitner, a brilliant physicist, was instrumental in understanding nuclear fission but was overlooked for the Nobel Prize. Despite facing prejudice and persecution, her theoretical work, developed ...
