Since it was first synthesized in a post-WW2 American lab in 1949, berkelium has been a rebel of the periodic table, defying ...

A team of Chinese researchers has developed a new interfacial synthesis strategy to fabricate high-performance crystalline ...

Now, the team believes that because time crystals and quasicrystals are sensitive to quantum forces like magnetism, they could serve as long-lasting quantum sensors that never need recharging. This, ...

Physicists at Washington University have forged ahead in the field of quantum mechanics by creating a new phase of matter ...

Time crystals are like a clock that never needs winding or batteries. “In theory, it should be able to go on forever,” Zu said. In practice, time crystals are fragile and sensitive to the environment.

The pioneering nuclear chemist Glenn Seaborg discovered berkelium at Berkeley Lab in 1949. It was one of many achievements ...
