A new study published in Nature Physics introduces a theory of electron-phonon coupling that is affected by the quantum geometry of the electronic wavefunctions. The movement of electrons in a lattice ...

European scientists discover a new state of quantum matter in CeRu4Sn6 that challenges physics and changes our view of the universe.

At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same ...

Bridging quantum mechanics and crystallography, quantum crystallography offers precise analysis of crystalline materials, impacting various scientific fields.

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A new study reveals that electrons don’t just need energy to escape solids — they need the right “doorway state.” (CREDIT: MPQ, ...

An MIT research team has observed a previously unseen form of magnetism, one that sits outside the familiar categories of ferromagnets and antiferromagnets. The discovery, termed p-wave magnetism, ...

Quantum mechanics replaced the clockwork certainty of classical physics with something far stranger: a framework in which ...

The study of quantum dots has advanced our understanding of electron transport at the nanoscale. These semiconductor nanostructures, which confine electrons in discrete energy levels, provide an ideal ...

They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...

On 9 July 1925, Heisenberg sent a paper titled ‘Quantum-theoretical re-interpretation of kinematic and mechanical relations’ to Max Born, whom he was assisting at that time, and Born sent the paper to ...
