Viewpoint: A Prediction for “Hot” Superconductivity
A proposed hydrogen-rich solid would superconduct above the boiling point of water—though the material would need to be subjected to a colossal pressure. Read More »
Focus: X-Ray Imaging Goes Quantum
The first demonstration of a source of quantum correlated x-ray photons shows that such photons can enhance x-ray imaging. Read More »

Viewpoint: Questioning a Universal Law for Electron Attenuation
A law describing electron attenuation in solids has long helped researchers determine the size of nanoscale objects, but experiments show that it is less general than previously thought. Read More »
Focus: Friction, Not Inertia, Controls Avalanches
By tuning the friction between tiny beads suspended in water, researchers gain new understanding of how avalanches begin. Read More »
