By forcing crystal structures to compete, scientists uncovered a new way to make magnetism twist. Florida State University ...

Quantum particles can work together to produce powerful signals. However, those signals are unstable and usually vanish ...

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

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

An artist's illustration of three Schrödinger's cats. Physicists have created the world's heaviest Schrödinger's cat, bringing the bizarre behavior of the quantum world to larger scales than ever ...

The field of quantum computing has progressed significantly over the last few years with companies such as IBM and Google pouring in substantial resources in research and development. Despite the ...

A crystal used in the study charges under UV light. The process created by the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering Zhong Lab could be used with a variety of materials, ...

For the first time, physicists have transformed a quantum processor into a state of matter that seems to defy physics, a breakthrough that could be a step toward making quantum computing more ...

You probably know what a crystal is. We've all seen one, held one in our hands, and even tasted one on our tongue (for instance sodium chloride crystals, also known as "salt"). But what on earth is a ...

Developing and manufacturing effective, safe, reliable new drugs or critical new materials for use in semiconductors or applications involving dangerous materials requires many layers of knowledge.

You probably know what a crystal is. We’ve all seen one, held one in our hands, and even tasted one on our tongue (for instance sodium chloride crystals, also known as “salt”). But what on earth is a ...

Researchers have created and observed a new phase of matter, popularly known as a time crystal. There is a huge global effort to engineer a computer capable of harnessing the power of quantum physics ...
