High temperature superconductivity is something of a holy grail for researchers studying quantum materials. Superconductors, which conduct electricity without dissipating...
Physicists led by the University of Iowa have learned how a type of aurora on Mars is formed. In a...
When atoms interact with each other, they behave as a whole rather than individual entities. That can give rise to...
Microbial communities shape our health and the health of our planet. Some are familiar to humans, like the microbes that...
The behavior of microscopic quantum magnets has long been a subject taught in lectures in theoretical physics. However, investigating the...
Computational detective work by U.S. and German physicists has confirmed that cerium zirconium pyrochlore is a 3D quantum spin liquid....
It’s not every day that someone comes across a new state of matter in quantum physics, the scientific field devoted...
Modern computers use electrons to process information, but this design is starting to reach theoretical limits. However, it could be...
The disease of malaria is triggered by single-celled parasites that accumulate in large groups in the salivary glands of mosquitoes...
When thinking about quantum mechanical systems, single photons and well-isolated ions and atoms may spring to mind, or electrons spreading...
Future quantum computers are expected not only to solve particularly tricky computing tasks, but also to be connected to a...
