Using complementary computing calculations and neutron scattering techniques, researchers from the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge and Lawrence Berkeley national laboratories and the University of…
Working Through a Mental Bloch Lightspeed is the fastest velocity in the universe. Except when it isn’t. Anyone who’s seen a prism split white light…
A new method designs nanomaterials with less than 10-nanometer precision. It could pave the way for faster, more energy-efficient electronics. DTU and Graphene Flagship researchers…
How materials behave depends on the interactions between countless atoms. You could see this as a giant group chat in which atoms are continuously exchanging…
Scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder have tapped into a poltergeist-like property of electrons to design devices that can capture excess heat from their…
A novel technique for studying vortices in quantum fluids has been developed by Lancaster physicists. Andrew Guthrie, Sergey Kafanov, Theo Noble, Yuri Pashkin, George Pickett…
An international research team has proven that the imaginary part of quantum mechanics can be observed in action in the real world. For almost a…
As Richard Feynman famously put it, “the double slit experiment is absolutely impossible to explain in any classical way and has in it the heart…
Surprise in solid-state physics: The Hall effect, which normally requires magnetic fields, can also be generated in a completely different way – with extreme strength….
Scientists at Freie Universität Berlin develop a deep learning method to solve a fundamental problem in quantum chemistry. A team of scientists at Freie Universität…
When Light and Atoms Share a Common Vibe An especially counter-intuitive feature of quantum mechanics is that a single event can exist in a state…
The results should help scientists study the viscosity in neutron stars, the plasma of the early universe, and other strongly interacting fluids. For some, the…
In a new realm of materials, PhD student Thanh Nguyen uses neutrons to hunt for exotic properties that could power real-world applications. Thanh Nguyen is…
A phenomenon of quantum mechanics known as superposition can impact timekeeping in high-precision clocks, according to a theoretical study from Dartmouth College, Saint Anselm College…
In the early evening of Sunday, October 7, 1900—120 years ago—Max Planck found the functional form of the curve that we now know as the…
For 100 years scientists have disagreed on how to interpret quantum mechanics. A recent study by Jussi Lindgren and Jukka Liukkonen supports an interpretation that…
Quantum physicists at Griffith University have unveiled a new paradox that says, when it comes to certain long-held beliefs about nature, “something’s gotta give.” Quantum…
What causes quasiparticle death? In large systems of interacting particles in quantum mechanics, an intriguing phenomenon often emerges: groups of particles begin to behave like…
