Quantum spin liquids are exotic states of matter in which spins (i.e., the intrinsic angular momentum of electrons) do not ...

Researchers from the University of Innsbruck, the Collège de France, and the Université Libre de Bruxelles have developed a ...

Mechanical resonators are extensively used in high-tech industry, to mark time in electronic components, and to stabilize radio transmissions. Most mechanical resonators damp (slow down) in a ...

Electric charges can exist in isolation, and positive protons and negative electrons are capable of independent action. Magnets, on the other hand, always seem to come in pairs of north and south ...

Aluminum has long been treated as a workhorse metal, valued for its light weight and corrosion resistance rather than any exotic behavior. Now researchers are revealing a subtler power hidden in its ...

Scientists from Princeton University have found that one of the most intriguing phenomena in condensed-matter physics -- known as the quantum Hall effect -- can occur in nature in a way that no one ...

Below right: These images collected by Princeton University scientists show (top) the first direct image of the dancing pattern of electrons on the edge of the bismuth-antimony bulk crystal, which is ...

(Nanowerk News) A simple sheet of graphene has noteworthy properties due to a quantum phenomenon in its electron structure named Dirac cones in honor of British theoretical physicist Paul Dirac ...

A rare particle containing equal parts weird antimatter and normal matter has popped up in experiments at the world's largest particle accelerator. Scientists recently observed new behavior of this ...
