A newly designed optical centrifuge allows scientists to control molecular rotation inside superfluid helium nano-droplets.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Superconductivity occurs when electrical current moves without resistance, a phenomenon that gave rise to particle accelerators, magnetic resonance imagining machines and trains ...

Quantum computers, which operate leveraging quantum mechanics phenomena, could eventually tackle some optimization and ...

Getting an up-close view of life at the cellular level can be as simple as placing onion skin under a microscope and adjusting the knobs. Peering deeper, into the heart of the atoms within, isn't as ...

A fundamental link between two counterintuitive phenomena in spin glasses—reentrance and temperature chaos—has been mathematically proven for the first time. By extending the Edwards–Anderson model to ...

Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) constitute a platform to explore various quantum effects. Their size-dependent colors are essentially a naked-eye, ambient-condition visualization of the quantum ...

Exotic spin-dependent interactions represent a promising avenue for probing physics beyond the Standard Model. These interactions, hypothesised to be mediated by new light bosons, couple to the ...

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 ...
