Our universe is known to be remarkably homogeneous and isotropic. This essentially means that matter is distributed evenly ...

The usual approach to studying a solid in physics is to consider all the interactions acting between its atoms or molecules and then use the laws of quantum mechanics to determine the solid’s ...

The quantum geometric tensor encodes how Bloch wavefunctions vary across the Brillouin zone, yet its physical consequences are most transparent in a local picture. A large quantum metric means that ...

Raquel Carter believes Lexington Mayor Linda Gorton is holding the city back. That’s why she’s hopes to unseat the two-term incumbent this year. Carter officially launched her campaign Monday. She is ...

Researchers have discovered a hidden quantum geometry inside materials that subtly steers electrons, echoing how gravity warps light in space. Once thought to exist only on paper, this effect has now ...

A collaboration between Stuart Parkin’s group at the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics in Halle (Saale) and Claudia Felser’s group at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of ...

Study demonstrates a chiral fermionic valve that separates handedness via quantum geometry, enabling transport and interference without magnetic fields. (Nanowerk News) A collaboration between Stuart ...

Imagine you are out on a walk. Outside the house in the fresh air you may have left the walls behind, but even so there are boundaries that limit where you can wander. In a city, you are constrained ...

A hidden quantum geometry that distorts electron paths has finally been observed in real materials. This “quantum metric,” once thought purely theoretical, may revolutionize electronics, ...

Chemistry and physics are combining forces at Columbia, and it's leaving everyone frustrated—in a good way. New work, published in Nature Physics, describes a new two-dimensional material capable of ...

Famously, at the quantum scale, particles can be in multiple possible locations at once. A particle’s state spreads out like a wave, peaking where the particle is likely to be found. When you measure ...
