How does a slinky walk down stairs? What is the physics of ollies? Join us on Physics Fundamentals as we explore these exciting questions! The first video will premier on the Brown University Department of Physics YouTube channel on Monday, January 24th at 4:00 PM (EST). 

A tunable, atomically thin materials platform may help researchers figure out how to create a robust quantum condensate that can flow without dissipation of energy — potentially paving the way for ultra-efficient lossless electronic devices. Read More >

A new discovery could help scientists to understand “strange metals,” a class of materials that are related to high-temperature superconductors and share fundamental quantum attributes with black holes. Read More > 

Magnets and superconductors don’t normally get along, but a new study shows that ‘magic-angle’ graphene is capable of producing both superconductivity and ferromagnetism, which could be useful in quantum computing. Read More >
