A novel magnetic material with an extraordinary electronic structure might allow for the production of smaller and more efficient computer chips in the future: the p-wave magnet. Researchers from ...

Researchers have mathematically elucidated how the presence of crystals and gas bubbles in magma affects the propagation of seismic P-waves. A novel equation was derived to describe the travel of ...

Mantle plumes beneath volcanic hotspots, like Hawaii, Iceland, and the Galapagos, seem to be anchored into a large structure within the core-mantle boundary (CMB). A new study, published in Science ...

(a) Schematic illustration of a Ti/LaAlO3/KTaO3 device. (b) Tunneling spectra of a device with a weak tunneling barrier at T = 0.5 K under different gate voltages. Inset: Zoom in on the left peaks. (c ...

A common geoscientific misconception is that land-based shear-wave (S-wave) seismic data accounts for only a small percentage of the total amount of compressional-wave (P-wave) data acquired in ...

The study of earthquakes called Seismology, relies on the fact that different materials within the Earth react differently to stress. When a fault slips, energy radiates outward from the focus (the ...
