In a nonlinear Hall effect (NLHE), an electric field applied in the plane of a material induces a transverse voltage that depends nonlinearly on the field. This voltage can scale with either an odd or ...

More than a century after scientists envisioned artificial photosynthesis and fusion power, neither has achieved widespread use—but slow progress is no reason to give up. This image, captured by the ...

Low-frequency radio observations delineate filamentary structures at the heart of a cluster of galaxies. Named after the musical symbol it resembles, the Treble Clef is an example of what astronomers ...

Experiments show that bundling of individual strands of an important protein polymer can occur through capillary forces, not just through molecular binding. Separated at birth. The chromosomes (blue) ...

Otfried Gühne obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Hannover, Germany, in 2004. After that, he moved to Innsbruck in Austria, first as a postdoc and, since 2008, as a leader of a junior research ...

Scientists have pinpointed energy-efficient ways to cook al dente pasta and developed an infallible recipe for the perfect cacio e pepe sauce. The study by Toultchinski and Vilgis was inspired by a ...

Gravitational waves emitted by the merger of two black holes have been detected, setting the course for a new era of observational astrophysics. Figure 1: Numerical simulations of the gravitational ...

A coalition of astronomers calls for renaming the Milky Way’s two brightest satellite galaxies, along with other astronomical objects and facilities that bear the name of a Portuguese explorer who ...

In 1935, Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky, and Nathan Rosen (EPR) wrote a now famous paper questioning the completeness of the formalism of quantum mechanics. Rejecting the idea that a measurement on ...

The new JWST observatory is revealing far more bright galaxies in the early Universe than anyone predicted, and astrophysicists have more than one explanation for the puzzle. With the JWST observatory ...

String theory provides a microscopic description of the entropy of certain theoretical black holes—an important step toward understanding black hole thermodynamics. Figure 1: Through the AdS/CFT ...

The discovery of an isotope, rutherfordium-252, whose ground state forestalls fission for just 60 nanoseconds, could help theorists understand the cosmic synthesis of superheavy elements. In 1991 an ...
