In two new papers, an international collaboration of researchers including Cornell physicists explain, on the microscopic level, why “Planckian” scattering of electrons occurs in some materials but not in others.
Chromium hydride, a molecule that’s relatively rare and particularly sensitive to temperature, is useful as a “thermometer for stars,” according to astronomer Laura Flagg in published research.
Researchers developed a more controlled way of making nickelates, a material that could potentially help pinpoint the key qualities that enable high-temperature superconductivity.
To prepare for extreme heat waves around the world, running climate-simulation models that include a new, efficient computing concept may save tens of thousands of lives.
