Angular momentum is a fundamental quantity in physics that describes the rotational motion of objects. In quantum physics, it ...

"Remarkable" new model of quantum double-exchange ferromagnets could produce fresh insights into these ...

A team of researchers has developed a novel method for using cholesteric liquid crystals in optical microcavities. The ...

Their most recent paper, published in Nature Physics, reports the emergence of ferromagnetism at the onset of a density-tuned Kondo breakdown in MoTe 2 /WSe 2 moiré bilayers. "Our work builds on ...

In the natural world, many things come in mirror-image pairs. Your left and right hands are a perfect example—they look alike ...

The lattice is in the insulator state, and the only way to get to your friends is to defy the laws of physics, and social-distancing, and charge on through. This is where the square lattice could ...

Cesium atomic clocks are really, really good— the best of them have an uncertainty of around a part in 10 16, which is to say when it measures one second, that’s 1.0000000000000000+/-0. ...

Hidetoshi Katori and Jun Ye won the 2022 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics "for outstanding contributions to the invention and development of the optical lattice clock, which enables ...

Muons’ magnetism matches theory, easing an enduring physics conundrum. New results mend a decades-old crack in the standard model of particle physics, but some questions remain ...

Our results exemplify the strong correspondence between the optical lattice physics of ultracold bosonic atoms and the Bose–Hubbard model1,2—a link that is vital for future applications of ...
