Sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) are gaining traction as a next-generation technology to complement the widely used lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). NIBs offer clear advantages versus LIBs in terms of ...

The Conversation reports on winter jackets, blending old physics and modern materials to efficiently trap heat, ensuring ...

The discussion about nuclear fusion has long involved its potential to create limitless amounts of energy. Thea Energy is one ...

Two ways of measuring how fast the universe is expanding disagree, a puzzle known as the Hubble tension. Tiny magnetic fields from the Big Bang may offer a solution.

In order to build the computers and devices of tomorrow, we have to understand how they use energy today. That's harder than ...

Investigating Quantum Interactions in Materials It’s pretty wild when you start thinking about how materials actually work ...

The superconducting gap sets the basic energy scale that allows electricity to flow without resistance in a superconductor. In high‑temperature cuprates, the paired electrons (Cooper pairs) are mostly ...

An array of 15,000 qubits made from phosphorus and silicon offers an unprecedentedly large platform for simulating quantum ...

Thermoelectric devices are promising for capturing and converting waste heat it into useful electricity. Conventional devices ...

To help make commercial fusion energy a reality, PPPL leads the StellFoundry project, which uses AI to sift through enormous amounts of data to determine which fusion system configurations are best.

Shawn Frayne’s Windbelt uses vibrating ribbons, not blades, to harvest wind efficiently on a smaller scale where traditional ...

The study shows that in quantum devices, reading a clock consumes far more energy than running it. This insight will help ...
