Researchers have synthesized a conducting polymer, polyaniline, exhibiting perfect diamagnetic properties, which eliminate external magnetic fields within the material. These properties are typically ...

The discovery of the extremely high superconducting temperature (Tc) of ~200 K reported in the sulfur hydride system above 100 GPa, has broken the high-temperature superconductivity record for the ...

ONE of the difficulties which confronts Bohr's structure of the hydrogen atom is the fact that hydrogen, on his hypothesis, should be paramagnetic, whereas it is, like the majority of the simple gases ...

Diamagnetism is a property of matter, superconductivity is a state of matter. Diamagnetism describes how a material reacts when plunged into a magnetic field. Paramagnetism is almost the same thing.

South Korean researchers published papers suggesting they had discovered a room temperature superconductor. However, another paper with resistivity charts shows resistance that is like regular copper.

IN a letter to NATURE of June 24 (p. 516) Dr. J. R. Ashworth has pointed out a possible origin of the diamagnetism of hydrogen by assuming oscillations or rotations of Bohr's paramagnetic hydrogen ...

This course provides and overview of solid state physics including free electron theory, phonons, energy bands, charge transport, semiconductors, optical properties, dielectric properties, ...

Average magnetic forces per unit mass of the AYFFF aromatic peptide and a control non-aromatic peptide, IIIGK, in dissolved, dispersed and assembled states. (Courtesy: Haijun Yang, Feng Zhang and ...

Two weekends ago was the Bay Area Maker Faire, and lacking a venue to talk to people who actually make things, we had a meetup at a pub. This brought out a ton of interesting people, and tons of ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...

In this editorial, Enrico Ravera gives an overview of the use of paramagnetic metals in NMR and explains how this can provide crucial information about the structure and dynamics of proteins, nucleic ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Conducting polymers exhibit a variety of properties in addition to their conductivity. Research has explored their use in light-emitting devices, electromagnetic wave shielding, and ...
