Breaking of rotational symmetry in ring-shaped nanoparticle leads to surprising quantum property when illuminated with laser. Particles that are mere nanometers in size are at…
Peculiar Bi provoked nanostructures in compound semiconductor nanowires controlled by atomically precise epitaxial crystal growth. Nanowire is a rod-structure with a diameter typically narrower than…
The X-ray-focusing lens used in the experiment is based on a design used in lighthouses for centuries. A fractal is any geometric pattern that occurs…
With an atomic structure resembling a Japanese basketweaving pattern, “kagome metal” exhibits exotic, quantum behavior. A motif of Japanese basketweaving known as the kagome pattern…
Scientists at Amherst College and Aalto University have created, for the first time a three-dimensional skyrmion in a quantum gas. The skyrmion was predicted theoretically…
Scientists have observed a new class of quantum matter at the very smallest scales in one of the coldest environments ever made. This discovery could…
An international team consisting of Russian and German scientists has made a breakthrough in the creation of seemingly impossible materials. They have managed to create…
Physicists have discovered new “quantum critical points” in a class of iron superconductors known as “oxypnictides,” furthering their understanding of quantum criticality. Quantum criticality, the…
