Norwegian and Italian physicists have detected signatures of equal-spin triplet Cooper pairs in a niobium-rhenium alloy at 7 kelvin. The discovery opens a path toward topological quantum computers.
Stanford scientists have created the first-ever global map of continental mantle earthquakes. Out of 46,000 quakes over 35 years, they identified 459 seismic events occurring not in the crust, but deeper — in Earth's mantle.
Scientists from San Diego have unraveled the mechanism that transforms liquid proteins into super-strong thread, paving the way for commercial spider silk production.
An international team predicted superconductivity at 52 K in a new class of 2D materials — functionalized MXenes. This is the highest predicted temperature for any MXene compound.
