MIT researchers say cubic boron arsenide is the best semiconductor material ever found, and maybe the best possible one.

Silicon is one of the most abundant elements on Earth, and in its pure form the material has become the foundation of much of modern tech.

Cheap and quick to produce, these digitally manufactured plasma sensors could help scientists predict the weather or study climate change.

More than 90 years ago, physicist Eugene Wigner predicted that at low densities and cold temperatures, electrons would freze into place.
