Linking superconductivity and structure

Superconductivity is a rare physical state in which matter is able to conduct electricity--maintain a flow of electrons--without any resistance. It can only be found in certain materials, and even then it can only be achieved under controlled conditions of low temperatures and high pressures. New research from a team including Carnegie's Elissaios...

Experiments in the realm of the impossible

Physicists of Jena University (Germany) simulate for the first time charged Majorana particles – elementary particles, which are not supposed to exist. In the new edition of the science magazine ("Optical simulation of charge conservation violation and Majorana dynamics") they explain their approach: Professor Dr. Alexander Szameit and his team developed...
