Chilling Discoveries: Princeton Physicists Unlock Secrets of Kinetic Magnetism
Researchers at Princeton University have made a breakthrough in understanding kinetic magnetism by using ultracold atoms in a laser-built lattice to image a new type of polaron, revealing how impurity motion in an atomic array causes robust magnetism at high temperatures.

Oil and gas discoveries are at the lowest level since 1946
Oil and gas firms are having their worst year for new fossil fuel discoveries in decades and reserves are dwindling. The oil and gas industry is on track to discover just 4.7 billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe) by the end of 2021, its worst performance in 75 years, according to the research firm Rystad…
