They discovered that the hidden metallic state coexists with a commensurate charge density wave—a pattern in which electrons group together in a regular structure. Both states break a certain symmetry ...
(Left) In a magnetic field of moderate magnitude, magnetic flux lines penetrate in the form of defects accompanied by vortices of superconducting currents. (Center) Conceptual diagram of the ...
The concept of quantum entanglement is emblematic of the gap between classical and quantum physics. Referring to a situation in which it is impossible to describe the physics of each photon separately ...
Researchers from the University of Vienna have reported quantum interference in metallic nanoparticles. These little spheres were made of between 5,000 and 10,000 sodium atoms and measured about 8 ...
This tiny rotational oscillation is a fundamental quantum motion exhibited by all objects, which physicists call zero-point fluctuation. "According to the principles of quantum mechanics, no object ...
Image: Phase diagram showing the destruction of superconductivity: 1) The yellow region represents the ordered phase in which all the electron pairs share the same phase (all arrows pointing up), 2) ...
