Electrons can arrange into crystalline patterns that accumulate defects as they melt; controlling the degree of melting may advance superconductors and artificial neurons

Theorists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign address an experimental paradox by developing a general theory uniting a kind of order known as electronic nematicity with a crystal’s elasticity.

Researchers at the University of Alicante (UA) have developed a highly precise method for measuring distances at the nanometre scale at room temperature, opening up new avenues in molecular electronics research.

Relaxor ferroelectrics have been used in electronics and sensors for decades, but the source of their unique properties was a mystery until now.

With a carefully-designed experiment and a handful of tin atoms, University of Tennessee, Knoxville’s physicists have found a long-sought form of superconductivity, taking one more step toward creating custom quantum materials.
