Long-range magnetic interactions govern how a ferrimagnet approaches its phase transition

by quasarn01 | Aug 18, 2026 | Latest in Physics

Close to a phase transition, very different materials can follow the same mathematical rules. The concept of universality, which groups seemingly distinct systems based on their common properties, was developed to describe this phenomenon. Go to Source

The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope recently imaged NGC 2392 (also known as the Lion Nebula), named for its distinctive appearance, which resembles a lion’s face seen head-on. Go to Source

Unusual superconductivity could emerge in valley-imbalanced rhombohedral graphene

by quasarn01 | Aug 18, 2026 | Latest in Physics

Superconductors are materials in which electrical current flows with a resistance of zero, typically below specific temperatures. In conventional superconductors, this state of matter emerges when two electrons bind together at low temperatures, forming so-called...

Ruby-forming mineral found by Mars rover hints at violent impacts

by quasarn01 | Aug 18, 2026 | Astronomy

So far, most of the minerals found on Mars tell a story of lava poured out by ancient volcanoes, followed by long stretches in which water trickled through and slowly reshaped the rock. However, some rocks scattered across the Martian surface seem to hint at a...
