One of the great successes of 20th-century physics was the quantum mechanical description of solids. This allowed scientists ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have shown, for the first time with very high time and spatial resolution, that electrons in ...

A joint research team from the Institute of Metal Research (IMR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Songshan Lake Materials Laboratory has achieved precise control and real-time observation of ...

Physicists are learning to treat light not as an untouchable beam that simply passes through matter, but as something that ...

A new study, published in early November in Nature Physics, details a breakthrough in understanding the dynamics of halide perovskites, revealing insights crucial for advancing optoelectronics ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of quantum computers and voltage standards. The appearance of Shapiro steps in ...

In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, theoretical physicists at MIT explained how ...
