(Nanowerk News) Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are fascinating and mysterious states of matter that have intrigued scientists for decades. First proposed by Nobel laureate Philip Anderson in the 1970s, ...

What is a Fermi Liquid? A Fermi liquid is a theoretical model that describes the behavior of interacting electrons in metals and other condensed matter systems at low temperatures. It is based on the ...

For more than a century, schoolbook physics has divided matter into neat categories like solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. A ...

Physicists begin to shed light on one of the most important questions regarding quantum spin liquids, and they do so by introducing a new phase of matter. Quantum spin liquids are difficult to explain ...

A new specimen holder gives scientists more control over ultra-cold temperatures, enabling the study of how materials acquire properties useful in quantum computers. Subscribe to our newsletter for ...

The comparison between the data obtained experimentally at the ISIS neutron source (right) and the results of the theoretical analysis using the PFFRG method (left) shows excellent agreement. A 3D ...

Creating quantum light just became easier thanks to liquid crystals like the ones found in television screens. Team member Vitaliy Sultanov at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in ...

Scientists can now reliably chill specimens near absolute zero for over 10 hours while taking images resolved to the level of individual atoms with an electron microscope. The new capability comes ...
