Five years of superconductivity in magic-angle graphene New demonstrations of superconductivity in multilayer stacks of graphene continue to emerge, even as researchers struggle to explain how it all works. Daniel Garisto Holey lens focuses extreme-UV radiation A metamaterial lens effectively redirects high-energy photons that are incompatible with traditional optical equipment. Andrew Grant FROM THE VAULT: May 1971 How scientists can really help The priority need is to develop a systems analysis with heart that society can rely on to choose between possible technologies. Murray Gell-Mann Live webinar Live webinar: The Physics of Active Matter Birds flock. Bees swarm. Fish school. These remarkable examples of natural collective behavior inspired researchers to study active matter—matter made not of atoms and molecules but of entities that consume energy to generate their own motion and forces. This unusual class of nonequilibrium systems can exhibit remarkable self-organization. Register Now. New reactor in Missouri will expand medical isotope production With seed funding from a congressional earmark, the University of Missouri is planning a reactor that will double the neutron flux of its existing facility. David Kramer A switchable explosive could prevent dangerous accidents A porous design means that an explosive detonates exclusively when filled with a fluid. Heather M.
