Scientists at California Polytechnic State University have discovered new forms of quantum matter by varying magnetic fields over time. The breakthrough, detailed in Physical Review B, shows that time-dependent control can produce stable quantum states without static equivalents. This could advance quantum computing by making systems more resistant to errors.

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed RidgeAlloy, a new aluminum alloy that transforms contaminated scrap from car bodies into high-performance material for vehicle parts. This innovation addresses recycling challenges posed by impurities, potentially reducing energy use by up to 95 percent compared to primary aluminum production. The breakthrough could enable the reuse of up to 350,000 tons of aluminum scrap annually in North America by the early 2030s.

Researchers at The University of Osaka have developed ultra-small pores in silicon nitride membranes that approach the scale of natural ion channels. These structures enable repeatable opening and closing through voltage-controlled chemical reactions. The advance could aid DNA sequencing and neuromorphic computing.

Researchers at BESSY II have experimentally verified that self-assembled phosphorus chains on a silver surface exhibit truly one-dimensional electronic properties. By separating signals from chains aligned in different directions, the team revealed each chain's distinct one-dimensional electron structure. The findings suggest that increasing chain density could shift the material from semiconductor to metal behavior.
