In a new study published on April 3 in Nature, researchers added over a dozen states to the growing quantum zoo. "Some of these states have never been seen before," said lead author Xiaoyang Zhu, ...

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 ...

Such an effect, analogous to the Seebeck effect for metallic thermocouples, has not previously been demonstrated, so far as we are aware, for purely ionic systems. The following results show that ...

Thermoelectric devices are curious things, capable of generating electricity via the Seebeck effect from a temperature differential across themselves. The Seebeck effect does not produce a huge ...

The property of a junction of dissimilar conductors to either generate electricity from a difference in temperature (the Seebeck effect), or heating or cooling the junction (the Peltier effect).

This is a depiction of the quantum Hall effect (left) and the quantum anomalous Hall effect (right). Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases posted ...

This "fractional quantum Hall effect" is a counterintuitive quirk of quantum mechanics, Stormer explained in his Nobel Lecture: "It implies that many electrons, acting in concert, can create new ...
