A series of buzzing, bee-like “loop-currents” could explain a recently discovered, never-before-seen phenomenon in a type of quantum material. The findings from researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder may… Read More »Physicists probe ‘astonishing’ morphing properties of honeycomb-like material
A single, doomed moon could clear up a couple of mysteries about Saturn. The suspected missing moon is named Chrysalis. If it existed, it could have helped tilt Saturn over. That,… Read More »A missing moon could have given Saturn its rings — and tilt
New findings, out today, suggest children who tell blunt truths such as “I don’t want this present—it’s ugly!” are judged more harshly by adults than those who bend the truth… Read More »Children who tell blunt truths, as opposed to lying, are judged more harshly by adults
Some of the assessment tools that measure children’s thinking skills in the U.S. may have provided inaccurate information about poor, urban students because they are modeled on wealthier—mostly white—populations. Go… Read More »Assessments of thinking skills may misrepresent poor, inner-city children in the US
Topological states have stable, immutable features of great interest for quantum computing and communications, and physicists from the United States and Europe have now discovered how to switch a topological… Read More »Physicists use ‘electron correlations’ to control topological materials
