Physicists have for the first time observed light drifting sideways in discrete, quantized steps, reproducing a quantum Hall effect that was previously seen only in electrons confined to ultra-thin ...

Superconductors are among the most puzzling materials in physics. They conduct electricity with zero resistance, but only ...

Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, reproducing the quantum Hall effect with photons for the first time. The experiment, carried out on an optical fiber ...

A new spectroscopy method explores how electrons inside quantum materials respond to magnetism, uncovering hidden electronic states linked to superconductivity.

A nuclear fusion experiment at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has set a record for the strongest steady magnetic field confining a plasma, ushering in new hope that forthcoming demonstration ...

Recently, a research team found a new way to control the magnetic reversal in a special material called Co 3 Sn 2 S 2, a Weyl semimetal. The team was led by Prof. Qu Zhe from the Hefei Institutes of ...

Atomic physicists “are jacks of all trades,” according to Alex Sushkov. “You have to have the idea, design the experiment, build the experiment, run the experiment, fix everything, take data, analyze ...

Researchers have identified a potential mechanism that explains how turbulent plasma can produce the vast, ordered magnetic fields observed across the universe Cosmic magnetic fields are everywhere, ...
