In a promising breakthrough, MIT #physicists have today reported their observation of new key evidence of unconventional superconductivity in “magic-angle” twisted tri-layer #graphene (MATTG) — a material that is made by stacking three atomically-thin sheets of graphene at a specific angle, or twist, that then allows exotic properties to emerge.

#Physicists at Umeå University, in collaboration with researchers in China, have developed a #laser made entirely from #biomaterials – birch leaves and peanut kernels. The environmentally friendly laser could become an inexpensive and accessible tool for medical diagnostics and imaging.

It sounds bizarre, but they exist: #crystals made of rotating objects. #Physicists have jointly studied these exotic objects and their properties. They easily break into individual fragments, have odd grain boundaries and evidence defects that can be controlled in a targeted fashion.

Eldest of 3 daughters of Delaware shipbuilder/state senator Wilson Cannon & Mary Jump, Annie’s mom taught her the constellations & encouraged her to pursue her own interests. She studied physics with Sarah Frances Whiting, 1 of few US women #physicists at the time, at Wellesley & became valedictorian in 1884. She returned home, worked various jobs, & published her photos over next decade. She lost most of her hearing possibly due to scarlet fever. 🧵2/

Members of the STAR Collaboration, a group of #physicists collecting and analyzing data from particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), have published a new high-precision analysis of data on the number of protons produced in gold-ion smashups over a range of energies.

#Physicists Blow Up #Gold With Giant #Lasers, Accidentally Disprove Renowned #Physics Model
Researchers for first time demonstrate a way to directly measure temp of matter in extreme states or conditions with intensely high temp, pressures, or densities. Using the new technique, scientists succeeded in capturing gold at a temperature far beyond its boiling point -- a procedure called superheating. Results suggest under right conditions, gold may have no superheating limit

🤓 Ah, yes, because the world was just clamoring for yet another rehash of the Manhattan Project. We *totally* needed a reminder that dropping atomic bombs was a big news story—did you know #physicists were involved? 🚀 The real bombshell here is how a few paragraphs can feel longer than the entirety of #WWII. 📚💥

Super-resolution microscopes showcase the inner lives of #cells. Advanced light #microscopy techniques have come into their own — and are giving scientists a new understanding of #human #biology and what goes wrong in disease.

Optics #engineers and #physicists have developed sophisticated tricks to overcome the diffraction limit of light microscopes, opening up a new world of detail. These “super-resolution” light microscopy techniques can distinguish objects down to 100 nanometers and sometimes even less than 10 nanometers.
