Okay, so quantum tunneling. It sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie, right? Like a character phasing through a wall.
In Sept. 2012, NASA’s Van Allen Probes observed the radiation belts around Earth had settled into a new configuration, separating into three belts instead of two. Scientists think the unusual physics ...
A new study published in Physical Review Letters (PRL) explores the potential of quadratic electron-phonon coupling to enhance superconductivity through the formation of quantum bipolarons.
“Dark” electrons within solid materials may help us learn more about the behaviour of high-temperature superconductors, and perhaps solve other mysteries in material science. Most of a material’s ...
Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...
High above the surface, Earth’s magnetic field constantly deflects incoming supersonic particles from the sun. These particles are disturbed in regions just outside of Earth’s magnetic field – and ...
The electrons that power our society flow left and right through the circuitry in our electronics, back and forth along the ...
Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) are exploring a novel approach to mitigate a critical challenge in fusion energy development, i.e., the detrimental effects of runaway electrons.
