Physicists isolate bound states in graphene-superconductor junctions
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Illinois researchers have documented the first observations of some unusual physics when two prominent electric materials are connected: superconductors and graphene.
Led by University of Illinois physics professor Nadya Mason…
Unique duality: Princeton-led team discovers ‘exotic’ superconductor with metallic surface
A new material with a split personality — part superconductor, part metal — has been observed by a Princeton University-led research team. The discovery may have implications for the development of next-generation electronics that could transform …
Study describes a tabletop source of bright, coherent X-rays
Producing tightly focused beams of high energy X-rays, to examine everything from molecular structures to the integrity of aircraft wings, could become simpler and cheaper according to new research.
Today, in Nature Physics, researchers from Imp…
