Nuclear physicists may have finally pinpointed where in the proton a large fraction of its mass resides. A recent experiment has revealed the radius of the proton’s mass that is generated by the strong force […]

Physicists predict that layered electronic 2D semiconductors can host a curious quantum phase of matter called the supersolid. This counterintuitive quantum material simultaneously forms a rigid crystal, and yet at the same time allows particles […]
Shooting ions is very different from shooting a gun: By firing highly charged ions onto tiny gold structures, these structures can be modified in technologically interesting ways. Surprisingly, the key is not the force of […]
Stacked layers of ultrathin semiconductor materials feature phenomena that can be exploited for novel applications. Physicists have studied effects that emerge by giving two layers a slight twist. Click to rate this post! [Total: 0 […]
Conditions mapped for the first time of polaron characteristics in 2D materials. TACC’s Frontera supercomputer generated quantum mechanical calculations on hexagonal boron nitride system of 30,000 atoms. Click to rate this post! [Total: 0 Average: […]
An international team has discovered how electrons can slither rapidly to-and-fro across a quantum surface when driven by external forces. The research has enabled the visualization of the motion of electrons on liquid helium. Click […]
Scientists investigating a compound called ‘Y-ball’ — which belongs to a mysterious class of ‘strange metals’ viewed as centrally important to next-generation quantum materials — have found new ways to probe and understand its behavior. […]
n a major breakthrough in the fields of nanophotonics and ultrafast optics, a research team has demonstrated the ability to dynamically steer light pulses from conventional, so-called incoherent light sources. Click to rate this post! […]
A team including physicists has for the first time detected subatomic particles called neutrinos created by a particle collider, namely at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The discovery promises to deepen scientists’ understanding of the […]
By adapting technology used for gamma-ray astronomy, researchers has found X-ray transitions previously thought to have been unpolarized according to atomic physics, are in fact highly polarized. Click to rate this post! [Total: 0 Average: […]
