What will be the big science stories of 2019? Here are our predictions
From black hole insights to the future of self-driving cars to figuring out what it means to be human, 2019 will be a big year in science.
- Physics
Some meteorites contain superconducting bits
Scientists find materials that conduct electricity without resistance in two meteorites.
- Physics
Scientists have chilled tiny electronics to a record low temperature
In a first, electronic chip temperatures dip below a thousandth of a degree kelvin.

Give double-layer graphene a twist and it superconducts
When graphene layers are twisted to a “magic angle,” the material superconducts.
- Physics
Strange metals are even weirder than scientists thought
Some strange metals are odd in more ways than one, and that could help scientists understand high-temperature superconductors.
- Physics
Photons are caught behaving like superconducting electrons
Light particles, or photons, swap energy like electrons in a superconductor.
- Physics
Some high-temperature superconductors might not be so odd after all
Unusual high-temperature superconductors might be explained by standard superconductivity theory.

50 years ago, a Japanese scientist dreamed up a rocket-propelled train
50 years ago, a Japanese engineer tried rocket boosters on a train. Today, high-speed trains propelled by superconducting magnets are being tested.
- Quantum Physics
Quantum computers go silicon
Scientists performed the first quantum algorithms in silicon, and probed quantum bits with light.
- Quantum Physics
Superconductors may shed light on the black hole information paradox
Materials that conduct electricity without resistance might mimic black hole physics.
