Ultrafast current pulses let scientists push superconductors beyond their usual experimental limits before vortices and heat could interfere. The method revealed striking differences in how two superconducting materials break down and could expose quantum behavior that conventional measurements miss. Superconductivity is one of the most remarkable behaviors found in quantum materials. When some materials are [...]

Meta now lets you make your own Muse gadgets that feature the company's new AI agent with code that the company open sourced. The company suggests projects like loading Muse on a color E Ink display to show reminders, adding it to an HDMI stick so you can display Muse on a big screen, or putting Muse on a small touchscreen device to make what looks kind of like a DIY Muse Charm. "Muse gadgets are open source devices you build yourself," Meta says. "Program an off-the-shelf ESP32 board or set up a Raspberry Pi with our SDKs, then connect Muse to your displays, buttons, sensors, actuators, and whatever else you've got lying on your workbench. … Read the full story at The Verge.

Superconductors are materials that conduct electricity with no resistance and expel magnetic fields when cooled to ultralow temperatures. And depending on their quantum structure, they can also showcase strange properties like magnetic levitation. But now things are getting a little weirder.

Soft tissue defects caused by trauma, tumor removal, or congenital conditions remain one of the most stubborn challenges in reconstructive medicine.

Ocean monitoring has long been split into two worlds that rarely speak to each other. On one side sit the commercial data loggers and multi-parameter sondes that record water quality with industrial reliability but lock researchers behind proprietary software and closed cloud dashboards. On the other side sit the low-cost, open-source drifters and buoys that […]

Sichuan pepper, the spice behind the numbing tingle of Chinese cuisine, has long resisted mechanization. Its clusters grow in random orientations on thorny branches, its skin is studded with fragile oil glands that release the prized aroma only when intact, and picking it still consumes roughly one-third of total production costs. Now a research team […]

Chemists in India have shown that a seemingly small change in the organic group attached to a lead precursor can dramatically reshape the lead sulfide nanoparticles that form when the precursor breaks down, and that the resulting particles differ sharply in how well they destroy dye pollutants in water.

Astronomers analyzed 2,435 galaxies hosting actively feeding black holes using data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI). Among them, they identified 546 "bulgeless" galaxies—systems with little or no central stellar bulge. Their paper, published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, suggests that galaxies without a central bulge grow black holes just as effectively as galaxies that have one—a surprising sign that black holes don't need galaxy mergers to grow normally.

The circular photogalvanic effect (CPGE), a phenomenon that generates helicity-dependent photocurrents in noncentrosymmetric materials, can originate purely from a crystal's internal structure without a contribution from the surface, a study from Science Tokyo reveals.

While scientists are known for their dedication to their research, crawling on the floor to avoid electrocution for the sake of a measurement seems a little excessive. But this is what British physicist John Cockcroft and Irish physicist Ernest T.S. Walton had to do in the early 1930s while studying the structure of atomic nuclei. Luckily, their efforts led to their receiving the Nobel Prize in 1951.

We’re on the brink of a revolution in how people use AI. Today, people mostly use non-agentic, non-personalized, non-proactive AI tools via PC browsers and mobile apps. Very soon, I predict, most AI usage will move to agentic, personalized, and proactive AI assistants via wearables like glasses, watches, and earbuds. We’ll move from mostly typing and reading to mostly talking and listening. This is a much bigger shift than it sounds. It moves AI from its current status as an external tool that we use to a future status of being part of us, a kind of prosthetic technology like eyeglasses, hearing aids, or an artificial knee.

WrachtrupSiC-based quantum magnetometry is vital for advanced sensing fields because it offers a path to volume-compatible chips, but it is held back because its sensitivity is lower than other platforms like N- diamond color centers. This study uses a planar 4-SiC waveguide platform and wafer-scale fabrication to seamlessly integrate and excite large V2 ensembles. Notably, this streamlined layout achieves a shot-noise limit of 30 nT/√Hz, boosting sensitivity by 2–3 orders of magnitude over that of standard, confocal SiC methods while preserving coherent control.

This paper studies how one could determine the production of transuranium isotopes in pulse nucleosynthesis based on isotopic yield ratios, a process that is very dependent on neutron fluence. The relationship between the neutron flux and abundances is determined in a rather unique way: by looking at yields from nuclear tests conducted during the Plowshares program. Making use of these nuclear tests (indicated in the figure) may help determine whether the periodic table has been extended in natural events in space. [Phys. Rev.
