The irregular, swirling motion of fluids we call turbulence can be found everywhere, from stirring in a teacup to currents in ...

“The theoretical framework we developed explains how quasiparticles emerge in systems with an extremely heavy impurity, ...

You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light shining at it: Optical light illuminates a material's surface, ...

After accounting for Earth’s rotation, gravity is slightly weaker beneath Antarctica than anywhere else on the planet. That ...

Physicists at Heidelberg University have developed a new theory that finally unites two long-standing and seemingly ...

Physicists have watched a quantum fluid do something once thought almost impossible: stop moving. In experiments with ultra-thin graphene, researchers observed a superfluid—normally defined by its ...

Electrons confined within self-assembled phosphorus chains have been shown to move in a strictly one-dimensional manner, marking a significant advance in condensed matter physics and nanomaterials ...

MIT physicists have built a new microscope that can see quantum motion inside superconductors ...

With the terahertz scope, the team observed a frictionless “superfluid” of superconducting electrons that were collectively ...

The implications of the breakthrough could ripple through multiple industries. A better understanding of how superconductivity behaves at quantum scales could accelerate the development of ...

When everyday matter is cooled, it follows a familiar path. A gas becomes a liquid, and with further cooling, that liquid turns into a solid. Quantum ...
