The Physics of the Oceans

The oceans cover two thirds of the Earth and play a pivotal role in our lives in general and in the climate crisis in particular. Initially, humans understood the oceans through observations. The regularity of currents could be used to plan shipping routes, and this facilitated travel and trade.

Magnetic resistance switching material

A quantum material is a complex system in which electrons interact strongly and collaboratively. As such, quantum mechanics plays a dominant role in the versatile materials that allow us to explore emergent quantum phenomena as well as their potential applications in future technologies.
