New study: Common ice generates electricity when bent
Researchers have discovered that common ice can generate electricity when bent, a finding that could finally explain the origin of lightning and inspire the development of new electronic devices.
ETH team cools nanoparticle to quantum ground state at room temp
Scientists have successfully cooled a levitated nanoparticle to its quantum ground state at room temperature, achieving a record-breaking level of purity and paving the way for advanced quantum sensors.
After a 100-year search, physicists finally observe a ‘lost’ thermoelectric effect
For the first time, scientists have experimentally observed the long theorized transverse Thomson effect, discovering that a magnetic field can switch a material between heating and cooling.
Scientists flip quantum switch for terahertz-speed electronics
Scientists have discovered a way to switch a quantum material between an insulator and a conductor on demand, a breakthrough that could lead to electronics 1,000 times faster.
