Ever since quantum mechanics first described particles, like electrons, as rippling waves, researchers have wondered if those ...

Light is one of the most powerful tools scientists have for probing matter. By interacting with electrons, light reveals how ...

A Korean research team has, for the first time in the world, realized a new two-dimensional material called 'kagomene' that ...

Electrons inside a diamond have given a floating, centimeter-sized device a quantum nudge, opening a new path toward testing ...

Measurements link fluctuating electron spins to superconductivity in an electron-doped copper-oxide material. A film with ...

Scientists at the University of Chicago have uncovered a surprising quantum state in the layered magnetic material Fe5GeTe2, where huge numbers of electrons move together unusually slowly while ...

Scientists have developed a powerful new way to calculate the Kondo effect, a strange quantum phenomenon that appears when ...

Atoms confined to a single line can bind into clusters called Bethe strings. A new experiment points to a mix of many such ...

New research started with a special material that behaves unusually when it's extremely cold—135 degrees below zero Fahrenheit (minus 93 degrees Celsius), close to the most frigid temperature ever ...

In a remarkable confirmation of a 40-year-old theory, physicists have directly observed how electrons confined in quantum space follow precise, patterned paths rather than descending into random chaos ...

Scientists from the Max Born Institute Berlin (Germany), the Université catholique de Louvain (Belgium), the University of ...
