Physicists at University College Cork have developed a new approach in the search for a quantum spin liquid, a long-sought ...

Quantum spin liquids are exotic states of matter in which spins (i.e., the intrinsic angular momentum of electrons) do not settle into an ordered pattern and continue to fluctuate, even at extremely ...

Collaboration between experts at National University of Singapore and University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney provides long-sought evidence of atomic nuclei displaying quantum behaviour. It has ...

For minerologists, a mine is an invitation. The earth has been broken open, its veins laid bare – and those who enter hope to find unknown wonders. In the 1970s, Kali Kafi mine near the small Iranian ...

In semiconductor quantum systems, the dynamics of spin degrees of freedom underpin fundamental processes and inform emerging technologies alike. Electron spins in quantum dots, quantum wells and ...

HOUSTON – (Aug. 21, 2025) – Wrinkles can be an asset — especially for next-generation electronics. Rice University scientists have discovered that tiny creases in two-dimensional materials can control ...

Supersolids show synchronized motion when rotated, as quantum vortices align the precession and revolution of their superfluid crystal structure. (Nanowerk News) A supersolid is a paradoxical state of ...
