The image represents the 3D model of the polarization pattern in the ferroelectric PbTiO3 representing the cycloidal modulation of the vortex core. Credit: University of…
University of Chicago researchers discovered how to create and manipulate a quantum phenomenon known as a “domain wall” – shown in this image as the…
Discovered time-reversal symmetry-breaking fields imply the presence of long-theorized ‘orbital currents’, where charge flows spontaneously in loops around the unit cells of the kagome lattice.…
Physicists from the University of Amsterdam have proposed a new architecture for a scalable quantum computer. Making use of the collective motion of the constituent…
Einstein was no stranger to mathematical challenges. He struggled to define energy in a way that acknowledged both the law of energy conservation and covariance,…
The proton (red) has a radius of 0.84 femtometers (fm). Also shown in the figure are the three quarks that make up the proton and…
MIT researchers have found a way to store quantum information in the vibrational motion of atom pairs, similar to the swinging motion of two pendula,…
These photographs show the different shapes of melted ice that form for cold (4 degrees C), intermediate (5.6 degrees C), and warmer (8 degrees C)…
Water molecules flow near the honeycomb-patterned walls of a carbon nanotube. Interactions between the molecules and electrons in the walls can cause ‘quantum friction,’ researchers…
Work has potential applications in memory storage and demonstrates a rare form of matter. With the help of a “playground” they created for observing exotic…
Janus rods with the same surface characteristics except for the geometry of the coating are depicted. The particles assume completely different orientations, implying they also…
New method from Clemson University researcher, enabled by Frontera supercomputer, helps explain role of phonons in copper-based superconductivity. Researchers have known about high-temperature superconducting copper-based…
Sensor network GNOME publishes comprehensive data in Nature Physics for the first time — Nine stations in six countries involved. An international team of researchers…
The shape of owl wings, which help the animals fly quietly, can inform airfoil designs. Credit: Wang and Liu Serrated edge of owl wings makes…
Humans experience the world in three dimensions, but a collaboration in Japan has developed a way to create synthetic dimensions to better understand the fundamental…
A duo of theorists proposes a new theory to explain both the surprisingly small mass of the Higgs boson and the puzzling symmetry properties of…
