Physics is the search for and application of rules that can help us understand and predict the world around us. Central to physics are ideas such as energy, mass, particles and waves. Physics attempts to both answer philosophical questions about the nature of the universe and provide solutions to technological problems.
Understanding how different signatures of strong interactions relate to one another has been a long-standing challenge. Now, a technique that combines local thermodynamic measurements with transport measurements in a single twisted trilayer graphene device reveals that superconductivity coincides with characteristic oscillations in the electronic compressibility but remains independent of the correlated insulating phases.
The proposed targeted polar entropy regulation strategy, through precisely reshaping local polarization configurations, enables high energy density, efficiency, and thermal stability in tungsten bronze multilayer capacitors.
Kagomes can host distinct density wave orders. Here, the authors provide evidence of an additional phase transition in CsCr3Sb5 and propose that charge-density wave and spin-density wave orders occur with distinct transition temperatures.
Students need to experience quantum hardware beyond cloud access to learn how an ideal circuit becomes a physical measurement. Universities should therefore procure teachable systems, not showroom machines.
We highlight how AlphaFold2 has advanced protein design and inspired the development of artificial intelligence-driven infrastructures for scientific discovery.
Paul Westerhoff and Jacob Jones discuss how the unique chemistry of phosphorus enables technologies beyond agricultural fertilizers, ranging from batteries to semiconductors and quantum materials.
