A theory of strong-field non-perturbative physics driven by quantum light
Non-perturbative interactions (i.e., interactions too strong to be described by so-called perturbation theory) between light and matter have been the topic of numerous research studies. Yet the role that quantum properties ...

Â鶹ÒùÔºicists solve mysteries of microtubule movers
Active matter is any collection of materials or systems composed of individual units that can move on their own, thanks to self-propulsion or autonomous motion. They can be of any size—think clouds of bacteria in a petri ...

Comparing 'sister' compounds may hold key to quantum puzzle in superconducting materials
For years, physicists have been trying to explain a quantum phenomenon that occurs in a large class of superconducting materials: Electrons in so-called "strange metals" scatter at high rates in ways affected by temperature. ...

Writing in water using an ion-exchange bead as a pen
Writing is an age-old cultural technique. Thousands of years ago, humans were already carving signs and symbols into stone slabs. Scripts have become far more sophisticated since then but one aspect remains the same: Whether ...

Quantum-enhanced detection for chip-scale wireless communications
The demand for fast data sharing and processing has sparked a race for greater bandwidth in wireless communication systems. This is described by Edholm's Law, which states that bandwidth and data rates roughly double every ...

Researchers produce polymers from ballbot-type carbenes for the first time
N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are small, reactive ring molecules that bond well with metallic surfaces, and which over the past few years have attracted a great deal of interest in the field of the stable chemical modification ...
