Physicists challenge a 200-year-old law of thermodynamics at the atomic scale

A long-standing law of thermodynamics turns out to have a loophole at the smallest scales. Researchers have shown that quantum engines made of...

Researchers unlocked a new shortcut to quantum materials

Scientists are learning how to temporarily reshape materials by nudging their internal quantum rhythms instead of blasting them with extreme lasers. By harnessing...

This new building material pulls carbon out of the air

A new building material developed by engineers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute could change how the world builds. Made using an enzyme that turns...

This tiny power module could change how the world uses energy

As global energy demand surges—driven by AI-hungry data centers, advanced manufacturing, and electrified transportation—researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory have unveiled a...

Silver just solved a major solid-state battery problem

Solid-state batteries could store more energy and charge faster than today’s batteries, but they tend to crack and fail over time. Stanford researchers...

Engineers just created a “phonon laser” that could shrink your next smartphone

Engineers have created a device that generates incredibly tiny, earthquake-like vibrations on a microchip—and it could transform future electronics. Using a new kind...

Electrons stop acting like particles—and physics still works

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though quantum physics says their exact...

This strange form of water may power giant planets’ magnetic fields

At extreme pressures and temperatures, water becomes superionic — a solid that behaves partly like a liquid and conducts electricity. This unusual form...

A new crystal makes magnetism twist in surprising ways

Florida State University scientists have engineered a new crystal that forces atomic magnets to swirl into complex, repeating patterns. The effect comes from...
