In a quiet corner of low-temperature physics, researchers have stumbled on a phase of matter that seems to break one of the ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

The quantum world is already full of surprises, but a new discovery has added an entire wing to what scientists call the “quantum zoo.” Using a new kind of laser technique, researchers have uncovered ...

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

Collective behavior is an unusual phenomenon in condensed-matter physics. When quantum spins interact together as a system, ...

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