An illustration depicts pairs of superconducting electrons in rhombohedral graphene (the middle lattice structure) that spin in clockwise or counterclockwise direction (corresponding to blue and red colors). The electron pairs exhibit properties of magnetism and superconductivity that were not thought to co-exist in one material. The electronic state represents a new form of magnetic superconductor.

Time lapse photos show a new ping-pong-playing robot performing a top spin. The robot quickly estimates the speed and trajectory of an incoming ball and precisely hits it to a desired location on the table. Credit: Courtesy of the researchersMIT engineers have created a lightning-fast ping pong robot that not only returns shots with human-like speed and precision, but also mimics spin and aiming strategies.

This global view of the surface of Venus is centered at 180 degrees east longitude. Magellan synthetic aperture radar mosaics from the first cycle of Magellan mapping are mapped onto a computer-simulated globe to create this image. Data gaps are filled with Pioneer Venus Orbiter data, or a constant mid-range value. Simulated color is used to enhance small-scale structure. The simulated hues are based on color images recorded by the Soviet Venera 13 and 14 spacecraft.

A powerful magnetar flare studied through moonlight reflections may reveal how the universe creates its heaviest elements, like gold and platinum, linking stellar explosions to the building blocks of planets and life. Credit: SciTechDaily.comMagnetar flares could be cosmic factories of heavy elements like gold and uranium.

Using single-atom-resolved microscopy, ultracold quantum gases composed of two types of atoms reveal distinctly different spatial correlations — the bosons on the left exhibit bunching, while the fermions on the right display anti-bunching. Credit: Sampson Wilcox, edited and enhancedMIT scientists have snapped the first-ever images of individual atoms interacting freely in space, making visible the elusive quantum effects that govern their behavior.
