Bridging quantum mechanics and crystallography, quantum crystallography offers precise analysis of crystalline materials, impacting various scientific fields.

Physicists in Leiden have built a microscope that can measure no fewer than four key properties of a material in a single scan, all with nanoscale precision. The instrument can even examine complete ...

Researchers observe over a dozen never-before-seen quantum states in a unique quantum material. There are a seemingly endless number of quantum states that describe quantum matter and the strange ...

In the natural world, many things come in mirror-image pairs. Your left and right hands are a perfect example—they look alike but can’t be perfectly superimposed. This idea, called chirality or ...

At the smallest scales of matter, nature behaves in ways that feel almost counterintuitive. Individual particles follow ...

A new study reveals how intertwined forms of frustration in quantum materials can give rise to unconventional magnetic states.

For the first time, scientists have observed electrons in graphene behaving like a nearly perfect quantum fluid, challenging a long-standing puzzle in physics. By creating ultra-clean samples, the ...

Building on its more than 70 years pioneering the study of fusion energy, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) has added a new field to its research portfolio — ...

What if the key to solving humanity’s most complex challenges, curing diseases, creating sustainable energy, or even unraveling the mysteries of the universe, was hidden in the quantum realm? With its ...
