**Scientists Finally Uncover Why Gold Never Tarnishes** By Stacey Plaisance, Tulane University - Published on 30 June 2026 Gold may stay shiny because some of its surface atoms reorganize into structures that block oxygen reactions. Gold has been valued for millennia because it keeps its shine, but new research from Tulane University suggests that this durability is not explained by chemistry alone. In a study published in Physical Review Letters, Tulane researchers found [...] Read more: #GoldResearch #SurfaceChemistry #MaterialScience #Nanostructures #OxidationResistance #Chemistry #ChemicalEngineering #Gold

**Physicists Discover a Fundamental Limit to Electrical Resistance** By University of Toronto - Published on 29 June 2026 A quantum simulation found a ceiling on resistivity caused by electron collisions. Every time electricity flows through a wire, some of its energy is inevitably lost as heat because electrons collide with one another and with the material around them. But just how much can these collisions increase electrical resistance? A new study suggests there [...] Read more: #Physics #QuantumPhysics #ElectricalResistance #Resistivity #ElectronCollisions #Physics #CondensedMatter #MaterialsScience
