Austrian quantum theorist Erwin Schr枚dinger first used the term "entanglement," in 1935, to describe the mind-bending phenomenon in which the actions of two distant particles are bound up with each other. Entanglement was ...
Scientists at Ames Laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and the University of Alabama Birmingham have discovered a light-induced switching mechanism in a Dirac semimetal. The mechanism establishes a new way to control ...
Researchers have successfully demonstrated a method to switch a novel material between two different nonvolatile states at very high speeds and with great accuracy. The physical constituents of the device in question are ...
麻豆淫院icists at MIT and elsewhere have observed evidence of Majorana fermions鈥攑articles that are theorized to also be their own antiparticle鈥攐n the surface of a common metal: gold. This is the first sighting of Majorana ...
Materials that combine topological electronic properties and quantum magnetism are of high interest for the quantum many-body physics they exhibit and for possible applications in electronic components. ETH physicists have ...
Dirac semimetals are critical states of topologically distinct phases. Such gapless topological states have been accomplished by a band-inversion mechanism, in which the Dirac points can be annihilated pairwise by perturbations ...
A research group from Zhejiang University in China has found that the noncentrosymmetric compound CaPtAs is a superconductor, which shows evidence of unconventional properties. This compound provides a new opportunity for ...
A magnetic monopole is a theoretical particle with a magnetic charge. Give it an electric charge, and you get another theoretical beast, dubbed a dyon. Many "grand unified theories" of particle physics, which connect fundamental ...
Nontrivial band topology can combine with magnetic order in a magnetic topological insulator to produce exotic states of matter such as quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) insulators and axion insulators. An aim of condensed matter ...
Researchers at the University of Antwerp report how higher-order periodic modulations called supermoir茅 caused by the encapsulation of graphene between hexagonal boron nitride affect the electronic and structural properties ...
