The first-time direct observation of exotic charge-neutral quasiparticles in twisted tungsten diselenide
7+ hour, 48+ min ago (320+ words) Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have for the first time observed Goldstone modes " elusive, charge-neutral quasiparticles " in a twisted tungsten diselenide superlattice. Using an ultrafast imaging technique, the researchers were able to directly capture these collective excitation, which are associated…...
First Direct Observation of Exotic Charge-Neutral Quasiparticles in Twisted
3+ hour, 2+ min ago (948+ words) In a groundbreaking experiment, researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara, have achieved a milestone in condensed matter physics by capturing for the first time the elusive Goldstone modes within a twisted tungsten diselenide superlattice. These charge-neutral quasiparticles, theorized…...
Strained Superconductors Generate Unusual Magnetism Perpendicular To Applied Fields
10+ hour, 46+ min ago (924+ words) Transverse magnetization, a response previously unseen in these materials, emerges perpendicularly to applied fields in strained vanadium and niobium. Calculations reveal this effect stems from orbitally polarized Cooper pairs, electrons linked with identical orbital movements. This discovery establishes a simplified…...

Ce B" surface reconstructions force a rethink of bulk electronic behavior
22+ hour, 38+ min ago (520+ words) by Surbhi Jain | May 18, 2026 For decades, scientists have relied on surface-sensitive measurements to understand how cubic hexaboride materials like cerium hexaboride (Ce B) behave at the electronic level. But a new study suggests that these observations may not always tell the…...
UEC Grad From Ipoh Joins China's Top University As Principal Investigator After Landmark Superconductor Breakthrough | TRP
1+ day, 21+ hour ago (687+ words) A Malaysian physicist from an Ipoh Chinese independent school " whose UEC qualification is not recognised by Malaysian public universities " has become a principal investigator at one of China's most elite universities after publishing a landmark superconductor paper at 27. Stephen Chow…...
Quantum Confinement Shrinks Superconductor's Key Property, Theory Shows
3+ day, 16+ hour ago (1197+ words) A coherence length reduced by quantum confinement, alongside a simultaneously enhanced penetration depth, challenges established understandings of superconductivity in thin films. Previously, theories attributed these behaviours solely to surface scattering, overlooking the direct influence of dimensional restriction on fundamental superconducting…...
Top Singapore-based physicist moves to China after superconductor breakthrough
3+ day, 18+ hour ago (163+ words) Stephen Lin Er Chow, a physicist who designed a groundbreaking copper-free superconducting oxide capable of high-temperature superconductivity, has joined Zhejiang University from the National University of Singapore (NUS). Last year, at 27, Chow published the findings in the journal Nature, marking…...
The Real Reason Superconducting Motors Are Rewriting the Rules

This innovation holds the potential to transform industries such as aviation, data centers, and heavy…...
Taking snapshots of spin'valley modes in a moir" superlattice | Nature Physics
4+ day, 23+ hour ago (180+ words) Nature Physics (2026) Cite this article An ultrafast imaging technique captured the propagation of charge-decoupled excitations in twisted bilayer WSe2. Two spin'valley modes with distinct propagation behaviours were revealed, consistent with the phase and amplitude modes of a spin'valley superfluid. Bi, Z. & Fu,…...
