Quantum simulations are pushing physicists to rethink what it means for an atom to move. In new work on a quantum computer, researchers report vibrational patterns where atoms seem to oscillate yet ...

We describe electricity as a flow, but that’s not what happens in a typical wire. Physicists have begun to induce electrons to act like fluids, an effort that could illuminate new ways of thinking ...

Although superfluids flow indefinitely, scientists just witnessed one stopping. It could be evidence of a superfluid ...

A team of US researchers has unveiled a device that can conduct electricity along its fractionally charged edges without ...

The implications of the breakthrough could ripple through multiple industries. A better understanding of how superconductivity behaves at quantum scales could accelerate the development of ...

One type of friction can waste energy even when two perfectly smooth surfaces move against each other, but researchers are getting a handle on how to attenuate or stop it completely ...

The superconducting gap sets the basic energy scale that allows electricity to flow without resistance in a superconductor. In high‑temperature cuprates, the paired electrons (Cooper pairs) are mostly ...

That low-frequency fuzz that can bedevil cellphone calls has to do with how electrons move through and interact in materials ...

Professor James Rondinelli collaborated with IBM to help turn simulations into potential practical chip designs.

Physicists have coaxed clusters of thousands of atoms into a delicate quantum limbo, creating a record breaking version of ...

Essentially, the quantum metric creates a “geometric” drag on the electrons. When the magnetic field is applied, it breaks ...

Near absolute zero, a solid revealed an electrical response that should not exist under the usual rules of how matter behaves. The discovery shows that a stable, ordered state can emerge even when ...
