Are quantum particles polygamous? New experiments suggest some of them abandon long-standing partnerships when ...

A new breakthrough may help scientists solve some of the mysteries of the quantum realm. For the first time, physicists have been able to measure the geometrical 'shape' a lone electron adopts as it ...

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Researchers have just found evidence of “dark electrons”—electrons you can’t see using spectroscopy—in ...

Quantum spin liquids are exotic states of matter in which spins (i.e., the intrinsic angular momentum of electrons) do not ...

Quantum particles have a social life, of a sort. They interact and form relationships with each other, and one of the most ...

Ultracold atoms have successfully mimicked a fundamental quantum effect normally found in electronic circuits.

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...

Map of resistivity as a function of the charge carrier density (x axis) and current density (y axis) in bilayer graphene. Superconductivity occurs in the dark blue region in the bottom graph and is ...

Researchers have successfully created electron-photon pairs in a controlled way in an electron microscope. Researchers from Göttingen (Germany) and Lausanne (Switzerland) have successfully created ...

Superradiance When multiple electrons emit light in a coordinated manner, the resulting emission is much stronger than the sum of individual emissions. (Courtesy ...
