Watching a metal transform into a superconductor, it may not be obvious that
this transition provides access to some of the same physics that governed the
cooling of the universe following the Big Bang. Yet at the root of both of these...

Cymbals don’t clash of their own accord – in our world,
anyway. But the quantum world is bizarrely different. Two metal plates, placed
almost infinitesimally close together, spontaneously attract each other.

Acoustic waves play many everyday roles - from communication
between people to ultrasound imaging. Now the highest frequency acoustic waves
in materials, with nearly atomic-scale wavelengths, promise to be useful probes
of...

Superinsulation may sound like a marketing gimmick for a
drafty attic or winter coat. But it is actually a newly discovered fundamental
state of matter created by scientists at the

A modern computer contains two different types of components:
magnetic components, which perform memory functions, and semiconductor
components, which perform logic operations. A

3-D images are not only useful in medicine; the observation
of internal structures is also invaluable in many other fields of scientific
investigation. Recently, researchers from the

The camera you own has one main lens and produces a flat,
two-dimensional photograph, whether you hold it in your hand or view it on your
computer screen. On the other hand, a camera with two lenses (or two cameras
placed...

As computers become more complex, the demand increases for more connections
between computer chips and external circuitry such as a motherboard or wireless
card. And as the integrated circuits become more advanced, maximizing their...

A new technique for printing extraordinarily thin lines quickly over wide
areas could lead to larger, less expensive and more versatile electronic
displays as well new medical devices, sensors and other technologies.

A dwarf star with a surprisingly magnetic personality and a huge hot spot
covering half its surface area is showing astronomers that life as a cool dwarf
is not necessarily as simple and quiet as they once assumed.

MIT scientists have devised remotely
controlled nanoparticles that, when pulsed with an electromagnetic field,
release drugs to attack tumors. The innovation, reported in the Nov. 15 online
issue of Advanced...

The 15 minutes it took to remove Buffalo Bills player Kevin Everett off the
field after he suffered a spinal cord injury may seem like a long time for
someone needing acute medical care, but in fact, those minutes underscore how
critical it...
