Physicists working at ultra-low temperatures have stumbled onto a quantum phase that should not exist according to the usual ...

In a quiet corner of low-temperature physics, researchers have stumbled on a phase of matter that seems to break one of the field’s unwritten rules: it works without well-defined particles. Instead of ...

Topological insulators could form the basis for revolutionary electronic components. However, as they generally only function at very low temperatures, their practical application has been severely ...

Quantum materials can behave in surprising ways when many tiny spins act together, producing effects that don’t exist in ...

Scientists are leveraging quantum physics to develop new energy production methods, aiming to address the computing industry's growing energy demands. Researchers at MIT have devised a novel approach ...

A new framework for understanding the nonmonotonic temperature dependence and sign reversal of the chirality-related ...

When quantum spins interact, they can produce collective behaviors that defy long-standing expectations. Researchers have now shown that the Kondo effect behaves very differently depending on spin ...

Mentor: Imran Mirza, Ph.D. In this poster, we review the integer quantum Hall effect for standard electronic systems. We find that the Hall resistance in 2D materials is quantized into fixed values ...

Scientists have uncovered a previously unthinkable state of matter that challenges decades of assumptions ...

Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...
