A quantum spin liquid is a phase of matter in which the magnetic moments in a material do not align or freeze, even at ...

Electron spin can create differences between mirror-image molecules, a potential explanation for why life favors one ...

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 ...

Quantum computers, which operate leveraging quantum mechanics phenomena, could eventually tackle some optimization and ...

Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) constitute a platform to explore various quantum effects. Their size-dependent colors are essentially a naked-eye, ambient-condition visualization of the quantum ...

Researchers from the Department of Energy's Quantum Science Center (QSC) headquartered at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL ...

A Franco-Spanish physics team has found that a hypothetical massive spin-3/2 particle cannot be consistently described without also including gravity. Using standard positivity bounds in a weakly ...

What makes something quantum? This question has kept a small but dedicated fraction of the world’s population – most of them quantum physicists – up at night for decades. At very small scales, we know ...
