When quantum particles work together, they can produce signals far stronger than any one particle could generate alone. This ...

Quantum spin liquids are exotic states of matter in which spins (i.e., the intrinsic angular momentum of electrons) do not ...

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 ...

Physicists call this strange state a quantum spin liquid, and for decades it has been one of the most elusive phases of ...

Whipping his racquet through the air like a cesta in jai alai, Rafael Nadal produces such tremendous topspin that the ball sometimes seems to catapult off the court, creating a shot as challenging to ...

A crucial number that rules the universe goes big in a strange quantum material. The fine-structure constant is about 10 times its normal value in a type of material called quantum spin ice, ...

An elusive form of matter called a quantum spin liquid isn’t a liquid, and it doesn’t spin — but it sure is quantum. Predicted nearly 50 years ago, quantum spin liquids have long evaded definitive ...

Spin device: in this diagram of the spin valve the nanowire runs between a source and drain (both shown in gold) and the locations of the two quantum dots on the nanowire are denoted by the dashed ...

“Quantum spin liquids are the exception,” says Gang Chen, Professor of Physics at Fudan University in China. He is describing the theory Soviet theoretical physicist Lev Landau developed to ...

Physics simulations using classical mechanics is something that’s fairly easily done on regular consumer hardware, with ...
