Superconductors (materials that conduct electricity without resistance) have fascinated physicists for more than a century. While conventional superconductors are well understood, a new class of ...

From computer chips to quantum dots—technological platforms were only made possible thanks to a detailed understanding of the used solid-state materials, such as silicon or more complex semiconductor ...

Engineers at Columbia University, NY, USA, and theoretical collaborators at the Max Planck for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter, Hamburg, Germany, have found that pairing laser light to crystal ...
