Surprising Behavior of Hydrogen Revealed Under High Pressure

Despite sharing the same charge, which traditionally leads to repulsion, scientists from Kiel and Dresden have observed a peculiar behavior in hydrogen. Under specific circumstances, electrons in hydrogen form pairs, a phenomenon notably visible when subjected to X-ray irradiation.

The Magnus Effect from Sport to Microscopy

The Magnus effect arises from a localized compression of the viscoelastic fluid's structure (illustrated in blue), causing it to shift sideways as the particle undergoes rotation. This shift results in a force that acts perpendicular to the particle's direction of motion.

Unraveling the Mystery of Insulator-to-Metal Transitions: A Quantum Avalanche Study

Credit: Unsplash.Most materials can be classified into two categories based on their subatomic particles: metals and insulators. Like copper and iron, metals possess free-flowing electrons that enable them to conduct electricity, while insulators, such as glass and rubber, tightly bind their electrons, making them non-conductive.The intriguing aspect of insulators is that they can be...

Illustrating the Electron Topology Using ‘3D Glasses’

Credit: Unsplush.Topological quantum materials are viewed as a promising prospect for energy-efficient electronics and advanced technology in the future. Among their remarkable features is the ability to conduct spin-polarized electrons on their surface, despite being non-conductive in their interior.To better grasp this concept, it's important to understand that spin-polarized electrons possess intrinsic angular momentum,...

Quantum Breakthrough: First-Ever Achievement of a Laughlin State

Credit: Unsplash.The discovery of quantum Hall effects in the 1980s revealed the existence of new forms of matter known as "Laughlin states," named after the American Nobel laureate who successfully characterized them theoretically.These great states manifest uniquely in two-dimensional materials under extremely cold conditions and intense magnetic fields. In a Laughlin state, electrons form an unusual...

A New Method for Managing the Turbulence’s Characteristics

An isolated blob of turbulence is created by the repeated collision of eight vortex rings. (Left) Contained turbulence is illustrated by the breakdown of the blob's energy into the mean flow (yellow) and fluctuating (blue) components. (Right) Inside the chaotic blob, highly erratic tracer particle trajectories are shown. Credit: Matsuzawa et al.According to a...

New Possibilities Found for Room-Temperature Superconductivity

To study superconducting materials in their “normal,” non-superconducting state, scientists usually switch off superconductivity by exposing the material to a magnetic field, left. SLAC scientists discovered that turning off superconductivity with a flash of light, right produces a normal state with very similar fundamental physics that is also unstable and can host brief flashes...

Getting the Best Flavor from Coffee to make Espresso

Coffee. Credit: Portfolio coffee.Espresso coffee is a popular beverage brewed by grinding roasted coffee beans into grains and then forcing hot water at high pressure through a bed of coffee grains to dissolve the soluble content of the coffee and produce espresso. However, recent research has found that more finely ground coffee beans make...
