Time feels like the most basic feature of reality. Seconds tick, days pass and everything from planetary motion to human memory seems to unfold along a single, irreversible direction. We are born and ...

A strange, glowing form of matter called dusty plasma turns out to be incredibly sensitive to magnetic fields. Researchers found that even weak fields can change how tiny particles grow, simply by ...

A new unified theory connects two fundamental domains of modern quantum physics: It joins two opposite views of how a single ...

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

A quantum state of matter has appeared in a material where physicists thought it would be impossible, forcing a rethink on ...

Scientists have discovered a new quantum state of matter that connects two significant areas of physics, potentially leading ...

Physicists have observed a strange new quantum phase in a graphene-based system, where a superfluid appears to freeze into a solid-like state. Cooling usually pushes matter through a simple sequence.

Previously thought to be incompatible, this discovery shows that strong electron interactions can create stable, "twisted" ...

By bringing the long-standing and opposing views of quantum mechanics together to form a single cohesive theory, a research ...

Mind = blown.

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

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