A new review highlights exciting progress in atomically thin quantum materials where light and magnetism work together in ...

A study by researchers from the University of British Columbia's Blusson Quantum Matter Institute (UBC Blusson QMI) has found a rare form of one-dimensional quantum magnetism in the metallic compound ...

In the air people breathe, the water on Earth, the stars in the sky and more, atoms are the building blocks that make up the universe. Understanding the structure of the atomic nucleus is crucial for ...

One of the most enduring mysteries of particle physics may be finally resolved, two new studies suggest. The oddities of muons, subatomic particles that are relatives of electrons, are starting to ...

For decades, scientists have hunted for materials that defy conventional ideas of magnetism. Most magnetic materials, like the ones found in fridge magnets, behave in predictable ways. Their atomic ...

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have discovered that a specially engineered tantalum-tungsten-selenium crystal spontaneously forms atomic clusters that generate local magnetism where none ...

Researchers show electrical control of quantum interference in atomic spins on surfaces using a scanning tunnelling microscope and modulated bias fields. The system studied consists of a single atom ...

A quantum 'miracle material' could support magnetic switching, a team of researchers has shown. A quantum "miracle material" could support magnetic switching, a team of researchers at the University ...

An international team of physicists, centered at Trinity, has proven new theorems in quantum mechanics that describe the "energy landscapes" of collections of quantum particles. Their work addresses ...

Forward-looking: A team of engineers at the University of Leicester has demonstrated that magnetic cloaking – once a largely theoretical concept – can now be designed in ways that are manufacturable ...
