Shape memory alloys (SMA) remember their original shape and return to it after being heated. Similar to how a liquid transforms into a gas when boiled, SMAs undergo a phase transformation when heated or cooled. The phase transformation occurs with the movement of atoms, which is invisible to the naked eye.

A new age of superconductors may be about to begin as so-called palladates may pave the way for better superconductors

Zurich, Switzerland (SPX) May 11, 2023 - A group of researchers led by Andreas Wallraff, Professor of Solid State Physics at ETH Zurich, has performed a loophole-free Bell test to disprove the concept of local causality formulated by Alb

Researchers have created the heaviest Schrödinger cat to date by putting a crystal in a superposition of two oscillation states.

Several possible applications are held by the smart skin developed by Anna Coclite. The scientist is examining its practical applications with an ERC Proof of Concept Grant.

The smart skin developed by Anna Maria Coclite has many potential applications – from robotics and cosmetic surgery to prosthetics. With an ERC Proof of Concept Grant, the researcher is now exploring its possible practical applications.

Superposition shouldn't be possible for objects larger than an atom -- but these scientists are defying conventional wisdom.

Researchers from TU Wien and universities in Japan have used computer simulations to identify a "golden zone" for optimal superconductivity. This region,

A Goldilocks material that might be just right: the precious metal palladium could be used to make superconductors that remain superconducting even at relatively high temperatures, show calculatio ...
