A collaborative study confirms a potential new switching mechanism for a proposed generation of ultra-low energy topological electronics. Based on novel, quantum nanoribbons terminating on ‘zigzag’ edges, such devices would switch from non-conducting to conducting […]
How can Einstein’s theory of gravity be unified with quantum mechanics? It is a challenge that could give us deep insights into phenomena such as black holes and the birth of the universe. Now, a […]
While many physics instructors are beginning to incorporate lessons on diversity, equity, and inclusion in the classroom, it can often feel like an add-on rather than an integral component of becoming a physicist. Scientists are […]

A rare spectroscopy technique directly quantifies the energy required to bind two excitons together. The experiment harnessed interactions between real and virtual states to ‘switch’ the electronic state of an atomically-thin (2D) material. As well […]
Physicists have experimentally observed a quirky behavior of the quantum world: a ‘quantum boomerang’ effect that occurs when particles in a disordered system are kicked out of their locations. Instead of landing elsewhere as one […]
An international team of scientists has taken a snapshot of a cyclic molecule using a novel imaging method. Researchers used the world’s largest X-ray laser to explode the molecule iodopyridine in order to construct an […]
Physicists have measured Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity, or more specifically, the effect called time dilation, at the smallest scale ever, showing that two tiny atomic clocks, separated by just a millimeter or the […]
Scientists have created the first ever 2D map of the Overhauser field in organic LEDs, shedding light on the challenges we face in designing accurate quantum-based technologies. Click to rate this post! [Total: 0 Average: […]
