Breaking Rules but Not Waves: Plasmons in Correlated Materials

5 min read

Study Reveals Hybrid Plasmon-Polariton Resilience in Strongly Correlated Systems Electronics often use a subclass of materials called correlated materials because they exhibit unique electronic and magnetic properties. In these types of materials, the electrons interact with each other so intensely that their behavior is not describable by simple models, because … [continued]

Fossil-Fuelled Heat Has Caused Tropical Birds to Decline by “Up to 38%” since 1950s

8 min read

An uptick in heat extremes, driven by human-caused climate change, has caused tropical bird populations to decline by up to 38% since the 1950s, according to a first-of-its-kind analysis. The study combines ecological and climate attribution techniques to trace the fingerprint of fossil-fuelled climate change on declining wildlife populations. It … [continued]
