Quantum physics has quietly been rewriting the rulebook on matter, and the latest breakthroughs suggest that the so‑called ...

Graphene, also known as the wonder material, continues to surprise scientists. This time, it has revealed new quantum states. A team of researchers has found peculiar topological electronic crystals ...

Light that twists as it travels and materials whose internal order is knotted like a pretzel are starting to collide in the ...

Imagine a super-cold, ultra-thin layer of electrons trapped in a strong magnetic field. Normally, electrons move independently, but under extreme conditions, they start behaving in a highly ...

A shiny gray crystal called platinum-bismuth-two hides an electronic world unlike anything scientists have seen before.

Scientists have discovered a revolutionary new method for creating quantum states by twisting materials at the M-point, revealing exotic phenomena previously out of reach. This new direction ...

This device is known as a Josephson junction. It’s the foundational building block of quantum computers and advances of it ...

For more than seven years, scientists at the University of Michigan have explored the strange quantum oscillations of the Kondo insulator ytterbium boride (YbB 12). In 2018, the team discovered that ...

Purdue University doctoral student Yang Xu, lead author of a new research paper on "topological insulators," an emerging class of materials that could make possible "spintronic" devices and practical ...

Aaron Lauda has been exploring an area of mathematics that most physicists have seen little use for, wondering if it might have practical applications. In a twist even he didn’t expect, it turns out ...
