Researchers working at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) coupled graphene, a monolayer form of carbon, with thin layers of magnetic materials like cobalt and nickel to produce exotic behavior in electrons that could be useful for next-generation computin...

Proton~proton and proton~neutron collisions affect particle spins very different than theory predicted

Imagine playing a game of billiards, putting a bit of counter-clockwise spin on the cue ball and watching it deflect to the right as it strikes its target ball. With luck, or skill, the target ball sinks into the corner pocket while the rightward-deflected cue ball narrowly misses a side-pocket scra...

Using laser scanning, archaeologists have discovered a sprawling sand structure composed of several rectangular spirals at the Angkor Wat temple. They aren't sure what the spiral design would have been used for during the 12th century.

Gdy w 2000 roku brytyjski naukowiec Roger Shawyer ogłosił, że udało mu się opracować silnik EmDrive, przeczący – na pierwszy rzut oka – prawu zachowania pędu, nikt nie potraktował go poważnie. 9 lat później prototyp napędu postanowili zbudować chińscy badacze, którzy potwierdzili działanie urządzeni…

A chiral phenomenon is one that is not identical to its mirror image (see the article on mathematical chirality). The spin of a particle may be used to define a handedness, or helicity, for that particle which, in the case of a massless particle, is the same as chirality. A symmetry transformation b…

NRL scientists have created a new type of room-temperature tunnel device structure in which the tunnel barrier and transport channel are made of the same material, graphene. These structures provide an elegant approach for the realization of graphene-based spintronic devices.
