Researchers from China's Northeastern University, Shenyang Jusheng New Material Technology, Key Laboratory of Medical Image Computing, Shenyang Aerospace University and Australia's University of New South Wales have developed a polyurea-based nanocomposite spray...

Florida State University scientists have engineered a new crystal that forces atomic magnets to swirl into complex, repeating patterns. The effect comes from mixing two nearly identical compounds whose mismatched structures create magnetic tension at the atomic...

At CES 2026, Japanese startup 3DC showcased a new 3D graphene nanomaterial designed to improve fast-charging and high-power battery performance. The material, called Graphene MesoSponge (GMS), uses a porous, nanoscale structure that allows electrons to move more...

Researchers from Israel's Weizmann Institute of Science and Japan's National Institute for Materials Science have reported an Aharonov–Bohm interferometer in bilayer graphene, using it to reveal non-Abelian anyons whose collective quantum state can remember the...

Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still daring to test it. Some theories of quantum gravity suggest light might behave slightly differently at extreme energies. By tracking...

When scientists repeatedly drove a strongly interacting quantum system with laser “kicks,” they expected it to heat up and grow chaotic. Instead, the atoms abruptly stopped absorbing energy and locked into a stable pattern of motion. This strange effect arises from...

Scientists are learning to engineer light in rich, multidimensional ways that dramatically increase how much information a single photon can carry. This leap could make quantum communication more secure, quantum computers more efficient, and sensors far more...
