In 1956, theoretical physicist David Pines predicted that electrons in a solid can do something strange. While they normally have a mass and an electric charge, Pines asserted that they can combine to form a composite particle that is massless, neutral, and does not interact with light. He called this particle a 'demon.' Now, researchers have finally found Pines' demon 67 years after it was predicted.

Random telegraph noise (RTN) in semiconductors is typically caused by two-state defects. Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) layered magnetic materials are expected to exhibit large fluctuations due to long-range Coulomb interaction; importantly, which could be controlled by a voltage compared to 3D counterparts having large charge screening. Researchers reported electrically tunable magnetic fluctuations and RTN signal in multilayered vanadium-doped tungsten diselenide (WSe2) by using vertical magnetic tunneling junction devices. They identified bistable magnetic states in the 1/f2 RTNs in noise spectroscopy, which can be further utilized for switching devices via voltage polarity.

New interference radar functions improve the distance resolution between objects using radar waves. The results may have important ramifications in military, construction, archaeology, mineralogy and many other domains of radar applications. It addresses a nine decades-old problem that requires scientists and engineers to sacrifice detail and resolution for observation distance -- underwater, underground, and in the air.

A collaboration of nuclear theorists has used supercomputers to predict the spatial distributions of charges, momentum, and other properties of 'up' and 'down' quarks within protons. The calculations show that the up quark is more symmetrically distributed and spread over a smaller distance than the down quark.
