Physicists have uncovered a link between magnetism and a mysterious phase of matter called the pseudogap, which appears in ...

Most magnets are predictable. Cool them down, and their tiny magnetic moments snap into ...

Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could reliably tackle various ...

When quantum spins interact, they can produce collective behaviors that defy long-standing expectations. Researchers have now ...

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

Physicists working at ultra-low temperatures have stumbled onto a quantum phase that should not exist according to the usual ...

UD researchers develop optical method to detect magnetic behavior of antiferromagnets, paving the way for advanced computing ...

Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

Scientists have uncovered a previously unthinkable state of matter that challenges decades of assumptions ...

We’re probably all familiar with the Hall Effect, at least to the extent that it can be used to make solid-state sensors for magnetic fields. It’s a cool bit of applied physics, but there are other ...
