Scientists discover a hidden quantum world inside cobalt

Scientists have uncovered unexpected quantum complexity inside cobalt, a metal long thought to be fully understood. Advanced measurements revealed a dense network of topological electronic states that remain robust at room temperature. These states enable extremely fast electron behavior and can be switched or controlled using magnetism. The discovery could open new paths toward next-generation computing and spin-based devices.

Love, loss and what I wear now

When author Emily Franklin went through her closet before going on book tour, she found a beloved shirt. Her mother had written her name in the collar 40 years prior, saying “That way, it won’t get lost." Franklin writes, “But while the shirt did not get lost over all that time, parts of me did.”

How 'asymmetric alloying' is creating the next generation of luminescent materials

Metal cluster molecules are discrete compounds containing multiple metal atoms held together by metal–metal and metal–ligand bonding. They serve as excellent candidates for catalysts, biosensors, and even for drug development. Developing atomic-level molecular editing methods for such metal clusters remains an important challenge and represents a promising strategy for expanding their structural and functional diversity. Such approaches can enable structure-specific properties, high near-infrared (NIR) photoluminescence quantum yields, and unique reactivities and electronic structures.
