Physicists measured how readily a current of electron pairs flows through 'magic-angle' graphene, a major step toward understanding how this unusual material superconducts. By determining how readily ...

One of us (PMAS) remembers his first chemistry lecture at high school in January 1959 when the focus was on the periodic table and he was told about core electrons and valence electrons ... now using ...

Aluminum prices remain sideways amidst market uncertainty and the possibility of new tariffs. North American aluminum demand rose in 2024, driven by domestic supply. Guinea's halt on bauxite ...

There’s the pure mystery of how it happens: The phenomenon requires electrons, which carry electrical current, to pair up. Electrons repel each other, so how can they be united? Then there’s ...

Valence electrons with quantum properties are also expected to exhibit emergent phenomena, making these crystals essential for studying novel material functionalities. However, the extent to which ...
