Researchers in Finland have experimentally realized a long-predicted class of quantum material: a two-dimensional topological crystalline insulator.

Using the advanced capabilities of the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), researchers have directly measured a key nuclear reaction involving the radioactive isotope arsenic-73. By accelerating this rare isotope and directing it into a hydrogen target, the team was able to observe proton capture leading to the formation of selenium-74. Credit: Shutterstock

Researchers have proposed a new type of quantum system built from “giant superatoms,” combining two previously separate quantum concepts to address one of the field’s biggest challenges: decoherence. Credit: Shutterstock

Scientists map four submarine canyons and collect critical data on how underwater currents interact with the canyons, providing insights into the physical and chemical dynamics that support rich biodiversity in Argentina’s waters.
