At the V=2/3 Fractional Quantum Hall State, Heterostructures Support Predictions of Counterpropagating Charged Edge Modes
A group of physicists at Purdue University created a device in 2018 that experimentally demonstrated quasiparticle interference in the fractional quantum Hall effect for the…
A Manifestation of the ‘Turn-Off’ of Quark-Gluon Plasma Formation at Low Energy
According to new research, it is possible to “turn off” the generation of an exotic state of matter in collisions of gold nuclei at the…
Scientists Use Light to Throw and Catch Single Atoms in the Tiniest Ball Game Ever
With the arrival of spring comes the beginning of the baseball season and a lot of balls soaring through the air in several baseball-obsessed nations…
Scientists use Algae to create novel functional Perovskites with Tunable Properties
Perovskites are a class of materials that have been studied extensively for their potential use in various electronic devices, including solar cells. Algae, on the…
A New Technique for Analyzing Nano and Quantum Materials
On sports broadcast stations, a slow-motion video depicts actions in hundredths of a second. In contrast, nanoscale processes occur in the so-called femtosecond range: As…
Destroying Kagome Metal Superconductivity
Kagome metals are a class of materials that have a unique crystal structure consisting of interconnected triangles arranged in a hexagonal lattice. These materials can…
Chiral Phonons generate Spin Current without the use of Magnetic Materials
Chiral phonons are a type of phonon that has a net angular momentum and a handedness, or chirality, similar to how our hands are mirror…
Calibration of Standard Reference Cantilevers for Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)
A common method for examining surfaces at the micro and nanoscales is atomic force microscopy (AFM). The AFM probe is a cantilever with a sharp…
Femtosecond Laser Pulses Operating in GHz Burst Mode can Produce Unique Two-Dimensional Periodic Surface Nanostructures
Femtosecond laser pulses are extremely short bursts of laser light that last for a duration of one quadrillionth of a second (10^-15 seconds). These ultrafast…
The Creation of Two-Dimensional Quasicrystals from Metal Oxides is Solved by Physicists
Quasicrystals are intricately arranged objects that lack translational symmetry but have long-range order. Quasicrystals have a non-repeating pattern that never completely repeats itself, in contrast…
Researchers Discover the Mechanism behind Superconductors in Greater Detail
Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with zero resistance, meaning that electrical current can flow through them without any loss of energy. It was…
