Researchers from Skoltech and the University of Southampton, U.K., used all-optical methods to create an artificial lattice whose nodes house polaritons — quasiparticles that are half-light…
A new phase of matter, thought to be understandable only using quantum physics, can be studied with far simpler classical methods. Researchers from the University…
Philip Warren Anderson, one of the greatest theoretical physicists of the postwar era, died Sunday, March 29, at Princeton Windrows, age 96. Anderson was the…
Illinois and SLAC researchers use a new technique. One of the greatest mysteries in condensed matter physics is the exact relationship between charge order and…
A newly published study reveals that the Third Law of Thermodynamics can be restored in thin films of the magnetic material spin ice. Thin films…
While using an instrument to measure the detailed superconducting gap structure of the ferropnictide superconductor BaFe2(As0.7P0.3)2, physicists discovered experimental evidence that iron-based superconductors fall into…
Superconductivity, a phenomenon that works only at temperatures close to absolute zero, has been proven to work at higher temperatures, as much as 70 kelvin….
