The Nanohertz Gravitational-Wave Detection Explained
• Physics 16, 116
Jorge Cham, aka PHD Comics, illustrates how researchers have turned our Galaxy into a giant antenna for catching gravitational waves, spotting for the first time a background hum of such waves.
A method for imaging spin waves in magnetic materials uses flash-like intensity variations in a laser beam to capture the wave motion at specific moments in time. Read More »
An independent analysis of data on the hotly debated superconductivity of certain hydrogen-rich compounds, or hydrides, concludes that the phenomenon is likely genuine. Read More »
New experiments with cuprate materials explore a connection between so-called charge-density waves and a light-induced state that resembles superconductivity. Read More »
