Deep, chewy, rich, digestible. A cracking good job by #ScienceJournalist Zack Savitsky.

''But the implications go beyond just building better superconductors. A theory that explains strange metals may force a fundamental rethinking of how electricity works in all materials. It might subsume the standard theory the way general relativity, with its curved spacetime, subsumed Isaac Newton’s theory of gravity—and prove just as unsettling. Strange metals are forcing physicists to ask whether the very idea of an electron, or any particle for that matter, is an oversimplification of what’s really going on. “The violation of the standard theory of solids in these strange metals is so dramatic—it’s in your face,” says Qimiao Si, a physicist at Rice University who collaborates with Paschen. “There’s no question there’s new physics.”''

Acid-Base Solutions

How do strong and weak acids differ? Use lab tools on your computer to find out! Dip the paper or the probe into solution to measure the pH, or put in the electrodes to measure the conductivity. Then see how concentration and strength affect pH. Can a weak acid solution have the same pH as a strong acid solution?

Superconductivity: New Link Between Ferroelectric Walls and Conductivity

Superconductivity is a phenomenon where a material can conduct electricity without resistance, leading to highly efficient electrical systems. This property is critical for a variety of applications. It includes powerful electromagnets and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines. It also encompasses potential future technologies like quantum computers.
