Scientists have created a new phase of ice that can form at room temperature but requires extreme levels of pressure.

A new method to detect ribonucleic acid (RNA) without needing any complex lab procedures or heating equipment has been ...

The pursuit of room-temperature superconductors has long been a holy grail for scientists. Recent advancements under high-pressure conditions have brought this dream closer to reality. This ...

Quantum defects are tiny imperfections in solid crystal lattices that can trap individual electrons and their "spin" (i.e., ...

A stunning claim of a room-temperature superconductor that grabbed headlines has fizzled. The paper was retracted November 7 from the journal Nature, making for a trio of high-profile retractions for ...

After a raucous year of supposed breakthroughs in superconducting physics, 2023 is looking like it’s going to end with a whimper. This summer, LK-99 was the room-temperature superconductor du jour.

Higher ambient temperatures significantly amplify physiological stress reactivity, affecting the HPA axis and autonomic nervous system activity. Physiological stress markers increased at warmer ...
