Aspen’s Fourth of July celebrations this year included a shimmering ballet of hundreds of drones lighting up the night sky in ...

Of particular interest for modern material research in solid state physics are strongly correlated systems, which exhibit strong interactions between electrons. Magnets are a good example: The ...

Electrical current flows easily through a conductor, but does not flow through an insulator. Find out more with BBC Bitesize. For students between the ages of 11 and 14.

Using a technique known as “thermal quenching,” scientists made a quantum material that can switch instantly between ...

Ohm’s law is well-known from physics class. It states that the resistance of a conductor and the voltage applied to it determine how much current will flow through the conductor. The electrons in the ...

Polymer ion conductor To overcome this problem, researchers are looking to replace the liquid electrolyte in these devices with a solid-state one that is harder for the dendrites to grow through. Most ...

Kolkata: An experiment at a school workshop in Madhyamgram is all set to bring down the cost of lightning conductors to less ...

The result - induced superconductivity in these novel semi-conductors - was a physics first. In addition to Burch, the U of T team included Alex Hayat, Parisa Zareapour, Shu Yang F. Zhao, Michael ...
