Jiggling superfluid An artist’s depiction of a superfluid wave propagating through a layered superconductor. (Courtesy: ...

The hardness of a material normally is set by the strength of chemical bonds between electrons of neighboring atoms, not by freely flowing conduction electrons. Now a team of scientists has shown that ...

Topological Kondo insulators represent a unique class of strongly correlated materials in which the interplay between localised f-electron states and itinerant conduction electrons gives rise to a ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois have discovered a surprising mathematical connection between two areas of condensed ...

A model system created by stacking a pair of monolayer semiconductors is giving physicists a simpler way to study confounding quantum behavior, from heavy fermions to exotic quantum phase transitions.

Engineers have discovered a surprising connection between the electrons in graphene and magnetic spin waves in certain ...

Illustration of a molecular Kondo-box singlet formed by large orbital overlap between symmetry-matched dπ and π orbitals in an atomic/molecular system on a metal surface. Recently, a research group ...

How it works Schematic showing how a five-electron droplet (shown in blue) is transported inside the selected potential minimum of a SAW. Electrostatic gates (yellow) are used to guide the electron ...

The hardness of materials is determined by the strength of the chemical bonds that are formed between the electrons of the neighbouring atoms. For example, the bonds in diamond are very strong, so it ...

Engineers found a surprising link between graphene electrons and magnetic spin waves in magnonic crystals, offering new insights for RF technology and both fields.
