Using novel materials that have been widely studied as potential new solar photovoltaics, researchers at MIT have shown that nanoparticles...
A team led by a physicist from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) recently developed a new quantum theory that...
Under certain conditions—usually exceedingly cold ones—some materials shift their structure to unlock new, superconducting behavior. This structural shift is known...
Quantum computing, just like traditional computing, needs a way to store the information it uses and processes. On the computer...
Developing commercial fusion energy requires scientists to understand sustained processes that have never before existed on Earth. But with so...
The discovery of the quantum Hall effects in the 1980s revealed the existence of novel states of matter called “Laughlin...
A new tool for generating microwave signals could help propel advances in wireless communication, imaging, atomic clocks, and more. Frequency...
When a photon interacts with a material, an interaction occurs that causes its atoms to change their quantum state (a...
A new type of miniature atomic clock could provide better timing over the span of weeks and months compared with...
Electrons inside crystals interact closely with phonons, defined as the discrete unit of crystal vibrations. The electron–phonon coupling strength is...
Penguins aren’t just cute: they’re also speedy. Gentoo penguins are the fastest swimming birds in the world, and that ability...
When some semiconductors absorb light, excitons (or particle pairs made of an electron bound to an electron hole) can form....
