Synthetic magnetism used to control light: Opens door to nanoscale applications that use light instead of electricity
Physics and engineering researchers have demonstrated a device that produces a synthetic magnetism to exert virtual force on photons similar to the effect of magnets on electrons. The advance could yield a new class of nanoscale applications that use light instead of electricity.

Brain Can't Empathize And Analyze At Same Time, New Study
Scientists have discovered that the brain circuits we engage when we think about social matters, such as considering other people's views, or moral issues, inhibit the circuits that we use when we think about inanimate, analytical things, such as working on a physics problem or making sure the numbers add up when we balance our budget. And they say, the same happens the other way around: the analytic brain network inhibits the social network...

Physics of Turkey
It's that time of year. Americans are ramping up for our Thanksgiving holiday and, all too often, that involves an overly-dry dead bird as the centerpiece of the meal. Fortunately, though, some application of thermodynamics can lead to a roasted turkey that is properly heated without being all dried out.

Enigmatic nematics: Law of hydrodynamics governing the way internally driven systems behave could explain their complex structure
Physicists use hydrodynamics to understand the physical mechanism responsible for changes in the long-range order of groups of particles. Researchers have now focused on ordered groups of elongated self-propelled particles. They have studied the breakdown of long-range order due to fluctuations that render them unstable and give rise to complex structures, in a new study.

Cocktail achieves superconducting boost: High-performance material uses iron and selenium
Physicists describe how they have synthesized a new material that belongs to the iron-selenide class of superconductors, called LixFe2Se2(NH3)y. This material displays promising superconducting transition temperatures of 44 Kelvins (K) at ambient pressure, thus improving upon traditional copper-based high-temperature superconductors.

Paradox Book Review
I've just finished a charming new book, Paradox: The Nine Greatest Enigmas in Physics by Iraqi-born British physicist Jim Al-Khalili. As the name suggests, the book explores a series of scientific paradoxes and uses them as the springboard for a deeper analysis of fundamental scientific concepts, ranging from time travel (the classic "grandfather paradox") to the quantum mysteries at the core of the quantum Zeno effect. For a complete list of the scientific paradoxes tackled within the book, I direct you toward our review of Paradox.

Science and religion are united in a shared sense of wonder
As human knowledge expands, some claim science has the answer to the deep questions in life. But what of the mystery of existence?As a scientist, I like to feel as if I am exploring a cosmic mystery of the greatest significance. I am awestruck by the beauty that saturates the laws of physics and suppose that what I am doing is rather more than merely helping to solve an elaborate crossword puzzle. Or perhaps I am just too optimistic – brashly engaging in an ultimately futile attempt to lift my spirits in the face of a meaningless and eternal oblivion.Fortunately, I don't spend much time on the horns of that dilemma, alth...
