At the smallest scales of matter, nature behaves in ways that feel almost counterintuitive. Individual particles follow simple rules, but when they interact together, entirely new behaviors can ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, working with international partners, have uncovered ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have uncovered experimental evidence that ...

An MIT research team has observed a previously unseen form of magnetism, one that sits outside the familiar categories of ferromagnets and antiferromagnets. The discovery, termed p-wave magnetism, ...

Researchers have experimentally recreated another fundamental theoretical model from quantum physics, which goes back to the Nobel Prize laureate Werner Heisenberg. The basis for the successful ...

For decades, cobalt has served as a benchmark ferromagnet. Its crystal structure and magnetic properties have been extensively documented. However, the new findings show that cobalt hosts a rich ...

Time may feel smooth and continuous, but at the quantum level it behaves very differently. Physicists have now found a way to measure how long ultrafast quantum events actually last, without relying ...

Just a few years ago, many researchers in quantum computing thought it would take several decades to develop machines that ...

Once considered an oddity of quantum physics, time crystals could be a good building block for accurate clocks and sensors, ...

Time feels steady and familiar in daily life, but at the quantum level it becomes slippery. That puzzle now has a fresh twist ...
