With an advanced technology known as angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), scientists are able to map out a material's electron energy-momentum relationship, which encodes the material's ...

A new theoretical study led by researchers at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory has identified the ...

Scientists have demonstrated that light alone can reversibly control magnetism in a topological material. Researchers at the ...

Research in the lab of UC Santa Barbara materials professor Stephen Wilson is focused on understanding the fundamental physics behind unusual states of matter and developing materials that can host ...

We’re probably all familiar with the Hall Effect, at least to the extent that it can be used to make solid-state sensors for magnetic fields. It’s a cool bit of applied physics, but there are other ...

Katie has a PhD in maths, specializing in the intersection of dynamical systems and number theory. She reports on topics from maths and history to society and animals. Katie has a PhD in maths, ...

Physicists have discovered that hidden magnetic order plays a key role in the pseudogap, a puzzling state of matter that ...

The quantum Hall effect, a fundamental effect in quantum mechanics, not only generates an electric but also a magnetic current. It arises from the motion of electrons on an orbit around the nuclei of ...

The study of quantum mechanics in conjunction with geometric effects in magnetic fields represents a rapidly evolving domain that bridges fundamental physics and emerging technologies. The intricate ...

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

Imagine traveling through a city where the streets themselves change shape depending on how fast you drive down them. For ...
