Surprising link between metallicity and superconductivity uncovered in twisted trilayer graphene

Superconductivity is a state of matter characterized by an electrical resistance of zero, typically at very low temperatures. Past studies have found that in various materials, this unique state is accompanied by unusual electron arrangements.

Universal quantum protocol extracts maximum work without knowing a system’s state in advance

A new study published in Nature Communications has shown that in the asymptotic limit, extracting the maximum possible work from many copies of a quantum system does not require knowing exactly what state that system is in.

Bright quantum light emission achieved at room temperature in 2D semiconductors

A joint research team led by Professor Park Kyoung-Duck and Associate Director Suh Yung Doug of the Center for Multidimensional Carbon Materials within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has succeeded in realizing a high-efficiency quantum light source that emits bright lights even at room temperature. The study is published in the journal Science Advances.

Volunteers discover rare space weather events using their ears

Our planet rests inside a magnetic cocoon filled with plasma—but it’s not always peaceful and quiet. Activity from the sun can send waves through this space, and some of those disturbances can even reach Earth, affecting our power grid.

ALMA and JWST investigate giant disk galaxy’s formation and evolution

European astronomers have used the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to observe a recently discovered giant disk galaxy known as ADF22.1. Results of the new observations, published April 8 on the arXiv preprint server, shed more light on the formation and evolution of this galaxy.

Human space research gets a boost from retired NASA centrifuge

Texas A&M University is preparing for a new era of space research with the launch of a research centrifuge at the Anthony Wood ’87 Artificial Gravity Lab. Set to become one of the most advanced human centrifuge facilities in the United States, the lab can simulate lunar and Martian gravity for extended periods of time, allowing researchers to test how changes in gravity affect the human body.

Quantum-informed AI improves long-term turbulence forecasts while using far less memory

An AI model informed by calculations from a quantum computer can better predict the behavior of a complex physical system over the long term than current best models that use only conventional computers, according to a new study led by UCL (University College London) researchers. The findings, published in the journal Science Advances, could improve models predicting how liquids and gases move and interact (fluid dynamics), used in areas ranging from climate science to transport, medicine and energy generation.
