Physicists working at ultra-low temperatures have stumbled onto a quantum phase that should not exist according to the usual ...

In a quiet corner of low-temperature physics, researchers have stumbled on a phase of matter that seems to break one of the field’s unwritten rules: it works without well-defined particles. Instead of ...

Quantum materials can behave in surprising ways when many tiny spins act together, producing effects that don’t exist in ...

Collective behavior is an unusual phenomenon in condensed-matter physics. When quantum spins interact together as a system, ...

When quantum spins interact, they can produce collective behaviors that defy long-standing expectations. Researchers have now shown that the Kondo effect behaves very differently depending on spin ...

Scientists are leveraging quantum physics to develop new energy production methods, aiming to address the computing industry's growing energy demands. Researchers at MIT have devised a novel approach ...

A new framework for understanding the non-monotonic temperature dependence and sign reversal of the chirality-related ...

Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

The quantum world is already full of surprises, but a new discovery has added an entire wing to what scientists call the “quantum zoo.” Using a new kind of laser technique, researchers have uncovered ...

Scientists have uncovered a previously unthinkable state of matter that challenges decades of assumptions ...

Researchers report a room-temperature organic microcavity where two different forms of spin–orbit coupling act together to ...
