A new study has shown that even weak magnetic fields can significantly influence the growth and size of nanoparticles in dusty plasma. This discovery opens up possibilities for precise control over the synthesis of nanomaterials and helps to better understand the processes occurring in space.
The material PtBi₂ exhibits unique superconductivity only on its surfaces and forms Majorana particles, which are promising for creating stable qubits in quantum computers. Researchers are exploring ways to control these properties for future quantum technologies.
Scientists have discovered a hidden geometry that distorts the paths of electrons in quantum materials, opening up new possibilities for the development of quantum electronics and the study of superconductivity.
The Juno spacecraft has, for the first time, detected traces of Callisto, one of Jupiter’s moons, in the planet’s atmosphere, thus completing the “portrait” of all the Galilean satellites. This discovery deepens our understanding of how these moons interact with Jupiter’s magnetosphere.
