(ScienceX)—It was another good week for physics as one team of researchers at North Carolina State University found a new phase of carbon and made diamond at room temperature—it is called Q-carbon and is distinct from ...
Recap / Best of Last Week – Surprising new particle, a black hole eating a star and cannabis damaging white matter
(ScienceX)—It was another good week for physics as an international team of researchers announced that their work with the 'material universe' yielded a surprising new particle—the type-II Weyl fermion in metallic materials ...
Recap / Best of Last Week—Quantum entanglement at room temperature, power over WiFi and healthy food differs between people
(ScienceX)—It was another good week for physics as a team with the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory announced that they had achieved quantum entanglement at room temperature in semiconductor wafers—by ...
Recap / Best of Last Week – trapping light forever, turning paleontology on its head and a promising anti-aging drug
(Phys.org)—It was an interesting week for physics as a pair of researchers in Portugal announced an idea for a device that could theoretically trap a light 'bit' for an infinite amount of time—by shining it on a spherical ...
Recap / Best of Last Week—Breakthroughs in quantum computing, a very tough glass and the 'quiet' epidemic killing US men
(Phys.org)—It was a very good week for physics as researchers took two big steps toward quantum computing—in the first, a team from Austria proved that complex quantum states in photons can be preserved, even in turbulent ...
Recap / Best of Last Week – A novel phase of matter, carcinogenic meat and how the brain erases unimportant stuff
(Phys.org)—It was an interesting week for physics, as one team in the U.S. uncovered a novel phase of matter—it was characterized by an unusual ordering of electrons and wasn't based on any theoretical predictions. Another ...
