Spin currents represent an exciting frontier in the field of electronic and spintronic devices. Unlike traditional electrical current, which is driven by the flow of charge carriers, spin currents leverage the intrinsic angular momentum—or “spin”—of electrons to transmit information. This innovative approach has the potential to enhance the speed and energy efficiency of electronic devices,
The quest to understand the fundamental building blocks of our universe has taken a monumental leap forward with advances in the measurement of the Higgs boson interactions, primarily through the ATLAS collaboration at CERN. The Higgs boson stands as a cornerstone of the Standard Model of particle physics, its interactions providing critical insights into how
Gravity, one of the fundamental forces of nature, has perplexed scientists for centuries. While our understanding of gravity has evolved significantly—enabling us to calculate planetary orbits, predict ocean tides, and successfully launch spacecraft—the quest to fully comprehend gravity at the quantum level remains largely unresolved. According to Professor Johanna Erdmenger, Chair of Theoretical Physics III
The quest for understanding and measurement of time has always fascinated humankind. From sundials and water clocks of ancient civilizations to the atomic clock, every development marked a significant step toward greater accuracy. Atomic clocks, which utilize electronic oscillations within atoms, measure the second—the smallest standardized unit of time. This method has set a high
Superconductivity is a remarkable quantum phenomenon that has revolutionized the field of condensed matter physics. It allows electrical currents to flow without resistance, enabling advanced technological applications such as magnetic levitation, quantum computing, and efficient electrical transmission. Yet, the intricate relationship between disorder—specifically variations in chemical composition—and the superconducting properties of materials has long posed
