A cluster of 7,000 sodium atoms has just been coaxed into behaving as a single, ghostly wave, stretching quantum weirdness ...

Ammonia, a key part of nitrogen fertilizers, is central to sustaining global food production. However, its manufacture is ...

In some solid materials under specific conditions, mutual Coulomb interactions shape electrons into many-body correlated states, such as Wigner crystals, which are essentially solids made of electrons ...

These chemical oddities may explain why Earth seems to be deficient in certain elements — and could prove useful in catalysts ...

A study shows that polarons can host stable atomic distortion patterns, reshaping how charge and energy move in materials ...

For the Jew steeped in Torah and Chassidic thought, this question points directly to Elokus, the infinite Divine energy that ...

In a quiet corner of low-temperature physics, researchers have stumbled on a phase of matter that seems to break one of the field’s unwritten rules: it works without well-defined particles. Instead of ...

Much has been made of the excessive power demands of AI, but solutions are sparse. This has led engineers to consider ...

Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have successfully developed a novel type of Kondo necklace utilizing a ...

Quantum materials can behave in surprising ways when many tiny spins act together, producing effects that don’t exist in single particles.

Light can do more than illuminate a material. In some cases, it can temporarily change how electrons move through it.

Research from Gagliardi Group offers a powerful new toolkit to understand and eventually design complex materials, including high-temperature superconductors and solar cell semiconductors. (Image: ...
