When researchers claimed recently that they had created a material that perfectly conducts electricity – a superconductor – and that it does so at room temperature and pressure, many people were ...

Japanese scientists unveil a catalyst that turns CO₂ into liquid methanol at room temperature with 100% efficiency.

Editor’s note: On November 7, 2023, Nature retracted the March 8 study described in this article after researchers raised questions about its claims of creating a superconductor that works at both ...

The importance of keeping temperature constant in an environmental chamber. Proper test results means the cell's interior must be at a setpoint temperature. Issues with testing cells at room ...

Since their first discovery in 1911, superconductors — materials which perfectly conduct electricity — have long beguiled and tantalized physicists. Superconductors are used in particle accelerators, ...

Scientists say they’ve cracked a key challenge in scalable quantum hardware after generating an error-correcting, light-based qubit on a chip for the first time. When you purchase through links on our ...

SOLID-STATE PHYSICS very rarely goes viral. But that is what happened when a group of researchers at Korea University, in Seoul, announced on July 22nd that they had discovered a “room-temperature ...
