The surprising discovery of high-$T_c$ superconductivity in iron-based compounds has prompted an intensive investigation on the role of interaction and magnetism in the these materials. Based on the general features of multi-bands and…
Topological quantum materials hold great promise for future technological applications. Their unique electronic properties, such as protected surface states and exotic quasiparticles, offer opportunities for designing novel electronic…
I discuss the scientific rationale and opportunities in the study of high energy particle accelerators away from the Earth; mostly, those outside the Solar System. I also briefly outline the features to be desired in telescopes used to…
We consider the physics motivations and perspectives for the study of spin phenomena at the future high energies accelerators. The possibilities to use the already operating machines are also discussed. It is emphasized that the present…
This contribution provides a partial response to the titular statement since, it will be claimed,the ``why'' is not yet understood, but there is a pathway for achieving a more complete understanding. The sense of the community has been…
The discussion of enhancement of superconductivity is presented in the framework of the higher-grade hybrid model of layered superconductors. The enhancement is considered from the following two points of view: (i) as a result of long-range…
Written in non-technical language, this review article explains the significance of the Higgs field and the associated Higgs boson in High-Energy Physics. The connection of symmetry with particle interactions and their unification is also…
A review of the recent achievements in high energy neutrino physics and, partly, neutrino astrophysics is presented. It is argued that experiments with high energy neutrinos of natural origin can be used for a search of new physics effects…
For the last years spin effects in semiconductors have been of great interest not only in the context of solid state physics, but also for their potential usage in technology. In this paper we give a short review of spintronic materials, in…
This letter is a comment on an article by T.C. Halsey and M.H. Jensen in Nature about using recurrence times as a reliable tool to estimate multifractal dimensions of strange attractors. Our aim is to emphasize that in the recent…
In the first part of this work an overview of the available data on the paramagnetic effect recently discovered in superconductors was given as well as a possible explanation of the effect. Here the consequences caused by this weakly…
I discuss various direct calculations of the properties of the one-band Hubbard model on a square lattice and conclude that these properties sufficiently resemble those of the cuprate superconductors that no more complicated interactions…
In the new millennium hypernuclear physics is undergoing a renewed interest, both theoretically and experimentally.
By drilling periodic thru-holes in a suspended film, the phonon system can be modified. Being motivated by the BCS theory, the technique, so-called phonon engineering, was applied to a niobium sheet. The newly emergent high-$T_{c}$…
In this lecture I build up the motivation for relativity and gravitation based on general principles and common sense considerations which should fall in the sphere of appreciation of a general reader. There is a novel way of looking at…

Most applications of superconductors, such as power transmission lines, motors, generators, and transformers, require long cables through which large currents circulate. Impressive progress has recently been achieved in the current-carrying…
In 1994, an unconventional form of superconductivity was detected in strontium ruthenate. The discovery has shed light on the mechanism of unconventional superconductivity at high temperatures. "The great tragedy of Science [is] the slaying…
The reason why high temperature superconductivity has been being debated is that many basic ideas in literatures are wrong. This work shows that the magnetic flux quantum in a superconducting ring have been inaccurately explained in fact,…
