Physicists demonstrate how atoms can be pumped through a synthetic crystal without having to apply any external periodic driving. These experiments combine several key aspects of quantum many-body physics in unexpected ways, thus paving a […]
To capture as much information as possible about clouds of atoms at the heart of the MAGIS-100 experiment, scientists devised a dome of mirrors that gathers more light from more angles. Click to rate this […]
An international research team has observed the build-up of a physical phenomenon that plays a role in the conversion of sunlight into electrical energy in 2D materials. The scientists succeeded in making quasiparticles — known […]
An international research team has detected novel quantum effects in high-precision studies of natural double-layer graphene. This research provides new insights into the interaction of the charge carriers and the different phases, and contributes to […]
Combining artificial intelligence and quantum mechanics, researchers have simulated what happens at the molecular level when water freezes. The result is the most complete yet simulation of the first steps in ice ‘nucleation,’ a process […]
Researchers have designed smart, color-controllable white light devices from quantum dots — tiny semiconductors just a few billionths of a meter in size — which are more efficient and have better color saturation than standard […]
Scientists embedded elementary particles called muons into a many-layered nickel oxide superconductor to learn more about its magnetic properties. They discovered that waves of flip-flopping electron spins create magnetic excitations that sweep through the nickel […]
Researchers have identified highly ionized species of the famous soccer ball-shaped ‘Buckminsterfullerene’ C60 molecule as plausible carriers of at least some of the most prominent and enigmatic Unidentified Infrared Emission (UIE) bands that have challenged […]
A method known as quantum key distribution has long held the promise of communication security unattainable in conventional cryptography. An international team of scientists has now demonstrated experimentally, for the first time, an approach to […]
