Large magnetic fields are usually a killer for superconductivity, but researchers in the US have now fabricated a material that simultaneously superconducts and exhibits the quantum Hall effect – a ...

Japan say that the so-called "spin Seebeck effect" they've discovered could eventually have some pretty big implications for all sorts of devices. According to Science News, the researchers found ...

Now two condensed matter theorists have proposed a four-dimensional version of a widely studied two-dimensional effect, the quantum Hall effect, that could tell us more about the basic properties of ...

The Quantum Hall Effect was first observed in 1980 by Klaus von Klitzing, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1985. It occurs in two-dimensional electron gases found in ...

The quantum Hall effect traditionally only plays a role in two-dimensional electron systems. Recently, however, a three-dimensional version of the quantum Hall effect was described in the Dirac ...

In 1879, American physicist Edwin Hall proposed the famous Hall effect, explaining how a voltage is generated across a ...

Researchers have implemented a dynamical version of the four-dimensional quantum Hall effect with ultracold atoms in an optical superlattice potential. In literature, the potential existence of ...

The quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) is one of the most fascinating and important recent discoveries in condensed-matter physics. It is key to the function of emerging ‘quantum’ materials, which ...

Scientists have demonstrated that the quantum spin Hall effect -- an effect known to take place in solid state physics -- is also an intrinsic property of light. In a paper that crystalizes ...

It's based on a quantum phenomenon called Quantum Anomalous Hall effect. "With our new measurement method, we can significantly improve the accuracy of resistance measurements, without any ...
