Physicists have finally secured direct evidence that quantum spin ice, a long-hypothesized and highly unusual state of matter ...

Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, have the potential of ...

SQUIRE aims to detect exotic spin-dependent interactions using quantum sensors deployed in space, where speed and ...

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, ...

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 ...

NCCR SPIN focuses on creating scalable spin qubits in semiconductor nanostructures made of silicon and germanium, with the ...

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 ...

Acoustic frequency filters, which convert electrical signals into miniaturized sound waves, separate the different frequency ...

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 ...

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 ...
