Topological materials could usher in a new age of electronics, but scientists are still discovering surprising aspects of ...

In a quiet corner of low-temperature physics, researchers have stumbled on a phase of matter that seems to break one of the ...

A quantum state of matter has appeared in a material where physicists thought it would be impossible, forcing a rethink on the conditions that govern the behaviors of electrons in certain materials.

At TU Wien, researchers have discovered a state in a quantum material that had previously been considered impossible. The ...

Replication is a cornerstone of science, yet even in the natural sciences, attempts to reproduce results do not always succeed. Quantum computing promises machines that can solve certain problems far ...

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

Topological phases are at the heart of many advances in photonics and materials science. In a recent eLight paper, ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

A material cooled near absolute zero produced an electrical signal that physics said should not exist, revealing a new kind ...

The achievement comes after the company spent nearly two decades of research in the field, but Microsoft claims that building Majorana 1 required that it create an entirely new state of matter, which ...

Microsoft on Wednesday announced Majorana 1, its first quantum computing chip. The achievement comes after the company spent nearly two decades of research in the field, but Microsoft claims that ...
