In a groundbreaking study recently published in Nature Communications, a team of scientists led by Rice University’s Qimiao Si has made a significant discovery that could revolutionize the field of quantum computing and electronic devices. The researchers have predicted the existence of flat electronic bands at the Fermi level, a finding that holds immense potential
Astrophysicists have long been fascinated by the concept of “kugelblitze,” theorized to be black holes caused by extremely high concentrations of light. These special black holes were believed to have connections to dark matter and even posited as potential power sources for futuristic spaceship engines. However, recent research from the University of Waterloo and Universidad
