A single molecule spins when electricity passes through it; scientists discover its rotation can increase conductivity by 100 times
Inspired by an ancient Archimedes screw, scientists build a motor using a single molecule; rotation boosts electrical conductivity…
Thermoelastic response to an internal heat source and an electromagnetic field in solids using a refined Lord–Shulman framework with reference temperature
To demonstrate the analytical procedure discussed previously, we provide a numerical example accompanied by computational results. These results…
18-year-old quantum computing conjecture solved in just three days
An 18-year-old mathematical problem concerning the limits of quantum computing may finally have been solved in just three…
Einstein’s equations reveal how gravity could break, reconnect, and release energy
