Domain wall fluctuations in 2D materials reveal a new mechanism of superconductivity
Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals are made of atomically thin layers, held together by weak van der Waals forces. These materials have been the focus of numerous studies, as their unique properties...
The LZ experiment’s first science run sets new constraints on dark matter interactions
The LUX ZEPLIN (LZ) Dark Matter experiment is a large research effort involving over 200 scientists and engineers at 40 institutions worldwide. Its key objective is to search for weakly interacting...
The first observation of time-domain oscillations between two distant semiconductor spin qubits
Quantum computing holds the promise of outperforming classical computing on some optimization and data processing tasks. The creation of highly performing large-scale quantum computers, however,...
Nickel-58 nucleus may host elusive toroidal dipole excitations
Dipole toroidal modes are a unique set of excitations that are predicted to occur in various physical systems, ranging from atomic nuclei to metamaterials. What characterizes these excitations, or...
Quadrotors support enhanced locomotion in a new bipedal robot
Humans and animals are the key inspiration for many robotic systems developed to date, as they possess body structures that innately support efficient locomotion. While many bipedal (i.e.,...
Snap judgments: How first impressions of faces shape inferences of mental states
When we first meet another person, we typically form an initial impression of them based on their facial features and appearance. These first impressions of others could potentially influence our...
Meta unveils HOT3D dataset for advanced computer vision training
While most humans can innately use their hands to communicate with others or grab and manipulate objects, many existing robotic systems only excel at simple manual tasks. In recent years, computer...
Study explores association between Tau filaments and extracellular vesicles in Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative disorder associated with a progressive decline in memory and mental abilities, which can significantly hinder people's ability to...
New superionic conducting electrolyte could enhance stability of all-solid-state lithium metal batteries
All-solid-state lithium metal batteries (LMBs) are promising energy storage solutions that incorporate a lithium metal anode and solid-state electrolytes (SSEs), as opposed to the liquid ones found...
Robot mimics traditional Chinese massage techniques for therapeutic use
In recent years, roboticists have developed a wide range of systems that could eventually be introduced in health care and assisted living facilities. These include both medical robots and robots...
