1+ hour ago   (577+ words) A new study has brought physicists closer to watching an exotic state of matter reveal itself through light. In research published in Nature Physics, L. Wang, F. Menzel, F....

11+ hour, 42+ min ago   (195+ words) Researchers have quantitatively modeled the Kondo effect, a crucial quantum phenomenon in metals, specifically for real materials, moving beyond decades of reliance on simplified approximations. Linqing Peng and Tianyu Zhu, both of Yale University, led the work, building on research…...

6+ hour, 49+ min ago   (514+ words) A new study reports a way to control the spin and motion of topological defects in a polariton condensate by using the geometry of a specially designed metasurface rather than relying primarily on external magnetic or optical fields....

18+ hour, 54+ min ago   (416+ words) Separate time crystals inside a semiconductor can “find” each other across surprising distances and lock into the same rhythm. Researchers at TU Dortmund University demonstrated the effect using a semiconductor system in which electron and nuclear spins form continuous time…...

20+ hour, 44+ min ago   (202+ words) Credit: Image by USTC "Vacuum fluctuations in free space are generally too weak to produce observable effects in macroscopic condensed-matter systems," said Prof. ZENG. "To overcome this limitation, we introduced a terahertz split-ring resonator. Such a dark cavity can reshape…...

19+ hour, 35+ min ago   (398+ words) The work represents a step toward simulations of important quantum materials such as high-temperature superconductors, in which the motions of individual electrons depend so sensitively on what other electrons are doing at any moment that they cannot be averaged together....

1+ day, 1+ hour ago   (219+ words) Imagine this domain wall as being akin to counting how many times a winding road loops around itself; this mathematical value, known as the Chern number, describes the ‘twist in the material’s electronic properties’, opening or closing this path allows…...

1+ day, 1+ hour ago   (610+ words) A new kinetic-simulation study published in Thermo-X, "Kinetic simulation of magnetic-field-tuned hydro-dynamic electron transport in a graphene Corbino disk," examines how magnetic fields affect charge and heat transport in a graphene Corbino disk. The simulations identify three signatures that distinguish…...
