Superconductors (materials that conduct electricity without resistance) have fascinated physicists for more than a century. While conventional superconductors are well understood, a new class of ...
An electron-beam technique that can precisely create thousands of atomic defects in a crystal could be used to build quantum devices. Read the paper: Mesoscale atomic engineering in a crystal lattice ...
Insulators are materials in which electrons cannot move freely. Past theoretical studies predicted the existence of an unusual insulating state dubbed obstructed atomic insulator (OAI), in which ...
Unexpected atomic reversal: Researchers saw atoms in a crystal switch rotational direction during angular momentum transfer, a first in experimental physics. Terahertz laser control: Intense terahertz ...
Researchers at Okayama University used high-resolution synchrotron X-ray diffraction to detect tiny lattice distortions (about 100 parts per million) emerging as the topological superconductor Cu x ...
