16+ min ago   (599+ words) Chemical bonds are usually treated as the fixed scaffolding of a material, the framework that determines how atoms sit relative to one another and how electrons move through the resulting structure. Yet in certain classes of matter, the bonds between…...

1+ day, 13+ hour ago   (817+ words) Magnons now move slower than previously calculated due to an unexpected ‘dressing’ by surrounding quantum particles, revealing a direct link between speed and unseen entanglement. Increasing on-site repulsion weakens this connection and diminishes any resulting paired states formed when magnons…...

2+ day, 4+ hour ago   (514+ words) The properties of a material depend not only on how its atoms are arranged, but also on how its electrons are arranged and move. So what happens inside a material when light changes its properties? Previous studies have often examined…...

2+ day, 15+ hour ago   (968+ words) Dr. Donovan is a futurist and technology writer covering the quantum revolution. Where classical computers manipulate bits that are either on or off, quantum machines exploit superposition and entanglement to process information in ways that classical physics cannot. Dr. Donovan…...

4+ day, 50+ min ago   (132+ words) The new material is a form of strontium manganite and gets around this by using a simple structural trick: pairs of atoms inside its crystal structure tilt together in a coordinated way. This tiny shift is enough to generate an…...

3+ day, 23+ hour ago   (340+ words) Scientists from Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have used an electric field to reverse the handedness of atomic vibrations known as chiral phonons. Chiral phonons link magnetism with atomic motion. The ability to control them opens new possibilities for phonon-based information…...

4+ day, 7+ hour ago   (1072+ words) The team’s demonstration of a programmable spin ladder offers tantalising prospects for understanding exotic quantum phenomena; however, realising genuinely unconventional superconductivity remains an open challenge despite this advance. While researchers mapped distinct magnetic phases with impressive precision, the current work…...

4+ day, 5+ hour ago   (366+ words) Topological quantum materials combine unusual electronic states with properties such as magnetism or superconductivity, offering possibilities for future electronics and quantum technologies. Researchers at Tohoku University have now shown that changing the number of layers in a crystal can provide…...
