- Scientists Built A Tiny Version Of The Sun In Wisconsin 31/07/2019 What we can learn about our star by using the 'Big Red Ball.'
- Tunnel Barrier Disappears In A Topological Superconducting State 29/07/2019 Researchers have seen Klein tunnelling – a rare relativistic phenomenon in which a tunnel barrier disappears – in a topological superconducting state for the first time.
- Giant Vortex Clusters Appear In 2D Superfluids 27/07/2019 In a classical fluid, such as water or air, flow can be described by a dimensionless number known as the Reynolds number, which expresses the ratio of inertial and viscous forces in the fluid.
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging Resolves Atomic Scale Detail 25/07/2019 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most common techniques used to image internal body parts of animals and humans, in particular for cancer diagnosis.

- Liquefied Gas Electrolyte Improves Lithium-Ion Anodes 11/07/2019 Improvements to liquefied gas electrolytes could pave the way to a high-impact and long-sought advance for rechargeable batteries
- The Promise Of Silicon Photonics 09/07/2019 Photonics-based computing uses less energy and can transmit data faster than conventional approaches, but the costs of manufacturing silicon integrated circuits with embedded photonic elements have held back progress. Scott Jordan outlines how improved optical positioning technologies could help
- ‘Little Big Coil’ Creates Record-Breaking Continuous Magnetic Field 07/07/2019 The highest continuous magnetic field ever created in the lab has been achieved by physicists in the US.
- Magnets That Double Efficiency Of Water Splitting Could Help Usher In A Hydrogen Economy 05/07/2019 Simply bringing an ordinary permanent magnet within touching distance of a water splitting reactor can double the process’ efficiency. Slashing the amount of energy required to split water opens the way to industrial production of hydrogen and an economy that runs on the gas, all powered by renewable energy.
