exotic superconductivity discovered
UA Associate Professor of Physics Andrei Lebed has discovered that strong magnetism changes the basic, intrinsic properties of electrons flowing through superconductors, establishing an "exotic" superconductivity.
Einstein@Home
Einstein@Home is a program that uses your computer's idle time to search for spinning neutron stars (also called pulsars) using data from the LIGO and GEO gravitational wave detectors.
An ancient pigment shows scientists how to lose a dimension of space
Using strong magnets and a pigment developed by ancient Chinese warriors, scientists turned a three-dimensional system into one with just two dimensions.
Light goes... backwards?
Robert Boyd, the M. Parker Givens Professor of Optics at the University of Rochester recently showed how he can slow down a pulse of light to slower than an airplane, or speed it up faster than its breakneck pace, using exotic techniques and materials. But he's now taken what was once just a mathematical oddity?negative speed?and shown it working in the real world.
Another fundamental constant bites the dust?
The latest in a series of experiments to question our view of the universe suggests that over the past 12 billion years, the ratio of the mass of a proton to that of an electron may have decreased.
