Researchers at the University of Leeds deepened their understanding of a synthetic detergent without ever setting foot in the lab where their experiments took place.

Belopolski has made key discoveries about Weyl semimetals and topological magnets, systems in which quantum effects produce new emergent particles with exotic electronic and magnetic properties.

The research could lead to a better understanding of extreme astrophysical environments and the development of compact high-energy radiation sources for science.

They discover a short-lived state that could lead to faster and more energy-efficient computing devices.

Nickelate materials give scientists an exciting new window into how unconventional superconductors carry electric current with no loss at relatively high temperatures.

Measuring the process in unprecedented detail gives them clues to how to minimize the problem and protect battery performance.

The Horizon Prizes celebrate the most exciting, contemporary chemical science at the cutting edge of research and innovation.

Known as “pair-density waves,” it may be key to understanding how superconductivity can exist at relatively high temperatures.

It’s an example of how surprising properties can spontaneously emerge in complex materials – a phenomenon scientists hope to harness for novel technologies.

The results have important implications for today’s TV and display screens and for future technologies where light takes the place of electrons and fluids.

A better understanding of the failure process will help researchers design new materials that can better withstand intense events such as high-velocity impacts.

Just as pressing a guitar string produces a higher pitch, sending laser light through a material can shift it to higher energies and higher frequencies. Now scientists have discovered how to use this phenomenon to explore quantum materials in a...
