Opening a new window into superconductivity by reimagining a classic tool For more than a century, condensed matter physics has grappled with one of its greatest unsolved challenges: how to build superconductors that operate at room temperature and transmit electricity with no loss. Now, in a paper published in Nature, a team of Harvard physicists has reported new insights into why one promising superconductor has yielded mysteriously uneven results.

Electric field tunes vibrations to ease heat transfer New research from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in collaboration with The Ohio State University and Amphenol Corporation, challenges conventional understanding about controlling heat flow in solid materials. The study, published in PRX Energy, shows that applying an electric field to a ceramic material changes how phonons (tiny vibrations that carry heat) behave.

Nothing hits harder than a PR department claiming they've found the Majorana zero mode while the device is still cooling down. #Majorana #QuantumComputing #CondensedMatter

Decentralized error correction on a 2D lattice. Two errors are associated with walkers wᵢ and wⱼ are initially located at the errors The colored numbers indicate the timestep at which a particular walker visits a site. Once a walker encounters a site already visited by the other walker (yellow), the two errors can be fused and removed along the dotted path.

All interesting physics is decentralized and local. If there was a central algorithm deciding what physics is allowed, we wouldn't have the enormous diversity and beauty of the universe emerging out of something like two dozen fundamental physical constants […]

Einstein in a Chip: Hidden Geometry Bends Electrons Like Gravity - SciTechDaily A team at UNIGE has uncovered a geometric structure once thought to be purely theoretical at the core of quantum materials, opening the door to major advances in future electronics. How can information be processed almost instantly, or electrical current flow…

Wild to see relativity-inspired ideas show up in solid-state physics: a “hidden geometry” inside some quantum materials may guide electrons the way gravity bends paths in spacetime. If confirmed, it could unlock new knobs for ultra-efficient, fast electronics. #QuantumMaterials #CondensedMatter
