In a unique analysis of experimental data, nuclear physicists have made the first-ever observations of how lambda particles, so-called “strange...
Perturbing electron spins in a magnet usually results in excitations called “spin waves” that ripple through the magnet like waves...
A magnetic cage keeps the more than 100 million degree Celsius hot plasmas in nuclear fusion devices at a distance...
A quantum property dubbed “magic” could be the key to explaining how space and time emerged, a new mathematical analysis...
A nearly 60-year-old mathematical problem has finally been solved. The story began last fall when David Smith, a retired print...
Since ancient times, mankind has tried to tailor materials by combining different substances. Imagine a world where materials properties could...
Some classical computers have error correction built into their memories based on bits; quantum computers, to be workable in the...
The behavior of so-called “strange metals” has long puzzled scientists—but a group of researchers at the University of Toronto may...
Hidden stripes in a crystal could help scientists understand the mysterious behavior of electrons in certain quantum systems, including high-temperature...
Diamond material is of great importance for future technologies such as the quantum internet. Special defect centers can be used...
Solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries offer the potential for much higher energy densities and increased safety, compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries. However,...
