A magnetic crystal that was thought to behave like a quantum system, CeMgAl11O19, revealed something even stranger: a new ...
A team of physicists has computationally constructed a two-dimensional material that behaves like a paradox: it is disordered ...
The bizarre properties of discrete time crystals could be harnessed to detect extremely subtle oscillations of magnetic ...
Scientists observe a visible time crystal for the first time, revealing a phase of matter that repeats patterns through time.
By cooling an atom-thin magnetic material, physicists have experimentally confirmed a classic 1970s model of two-dimensional ...
Researchers in Finland have experimentally realized a long-predicted class of quantum material: a two-dimensional topological ...
Strange things happen to materials when you peel them down, layer by layer, from thick chunks all the way to sheets just an atom thick. Reporting in the journal Nature Materials, a team led by ...
Superconductors are among the most puzzling materials in physics. They conduct electricity with zero resistance, but only ...
(Jian Fan/iStock/Getty Images Plus) Physicists in the US say they have created a simulation that, for the first time, demonstrates "ideal glass" is possible, resolving a decades-old paradox. In some ...
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.
