One promising possibility for next-gen cancer treatments involves infiltrating tumors with specially-designed particles and heating them up to destroy the cancerous tissue, and new research from the ...

Scientists at the University of Tokyo have captured something never seen before: a frame-by-frame view of how electron spins ...

As before, they used an alternating magnetic field to rapidly rewarm the tissues. But, this time, as the samples approached the cryoprotective agent’s melting point, the researchers applied a ...

Compass readings that do not show the direction of true north and interference with the operations of satellites are a few of the problems caused by peculiarities of the Earth's magnetic field. The ...

Artistic visualization of a crystalline rod made of the semimetal ZrTe 5. There is a heat gradient from one end to the other. In its center, giant oscillations in its heat conduction are toggled by ...
