Equation of state measurements in high-pressure environments have always been a challenge for scientists in the field of condensed-matter sciences. Recently, an international team of scientists from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Argonne National Laboratory, and Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron have developed a new sample configuration that improves the reliability of these measurements in a pressure regime

Topological materials are gaining attention in the scientific community due to their unique properties that stem from the knotted or twisted nature of their wavefunction. When topological materials interact with their surrounding space, the wavefunction must unwind, leading to the formation of edge states. These edge states cause the electrons at the edge of the

Recent research conducted by the University of Trento in collaboration with the University of Chicago has introduced a groundbreaking approach to understanding the intricate interactions between electrons and light. This study not only sheds light on the fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics but also holds immense potential for the development of quantum technologies and the

Antimatter has been a subject of fascination and intrigue for physicists for nearly a century. The recent experiments conducted at the Brookhaven National Lab in the US have shed light on the heaviest “anti-nuclei” ever observed, composed of exotic antimatter particles. These findings not only validate our current understanding of antimatter but also hold the

The world of quantum networking is advancing at a rapid pace, with researchers facing the challenge of overcoming the fragility of entangled states in fiber cables. Scientists at Qunnect Inc. in Brooklyn, New York, have made significant progress in this area by successfully operating a quantum network under the streets of New York City. While

The recent discovery of a 3D quantum spin liquid near a member of the langbeinite family has opened up new possibilities in the field of quantum physics. This breakthrough was made possible by an international team of researchers who conducted experiments at the ISIS neutron source and performed theoretical modeling on a nickel-langbeinite sample. Quantum

In a groundbreaking study conducted by Professors Andreas Crivellin and Bruce Mellado, deviations in particle interactions have been identified. These anomalies suggest the presence of new bosons that may provide crucial insights into the fundamental workings of the universe. One of the key findings of this study is the discovery of multi-lepton anomalies, which point

Semiconductor nanocrystals, also known as colloidal quantum dots (QDs), have opened up a new realm of possibilities in the field of quantum physics. The concept of size-dependent quantum effects has long been understood by physicists, but it was not until the discovery of QDs that these theoretical ideas could be transformed into tangible nanodimensional objects.

A recent study conducted by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory has shed light on the formation and behavior of excitons in a class of materials known as van der Waals magnets. These microscopic particle-like objects, consisting of an electron and a hole, have been observed in the crystalline material nickel

Excitonic resonances and transitions between excitons have been shown by scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) to significantly increase the efficiency of generating entangled photon pairs. This breakthrough could potentially lead to the development of efficient ultrathin quantum light sources. Quantum entanglement, which is the cornerstone of many quantum technologies, involves the phenomenon
