The original story “ Physicists build a quantum Newton’s cradle where energy flows without resistance ” is published in The ...

In a significant development in the field of superconductivity, researchers have successfully achieved robust superconductivity in high magnetic fields using a newly created one-dimensional (1D) ...

Physicists at TU Wien have created an ultracold quantum gas where both energy and mass flow without any measurable loss, a result that defies the standard expectation that interacting quantum systems ...

Restricting a strange class of particles known as anyons to one dimension could force them into adopting one of two new forms, models suggest, hinting at new fundamental interactions in particle ...

When most people hear "polymer," they think of plastics. In our group, polymerization is a way to line up identical molecules like beads on a string and let quantum mechanics take over. Put magnetic ...

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one.

Researchers have developed a powerful computational framework that shows how carefully optimized nanotube shapes can amplify electromagnetic field concentration by more than 30 times compared to ...

Scientists led by Hanns-Christoph Nägerl have observed anyons -- quasiparticles that differ from the familiar fermions and bosons -- in a one-dimensional quantum system for the first time. The results ...

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) are a kind of quantum “magnifying glass” in which ...

In our three-dimensional space, elementary particles neatly filter into either bosons or fermions. But in lower dimensions, that distinction gets a bit murky.
