Strange things happen to materials when you peel them down, layer by layer, from thick chunks all the way to sheets just an atom thick. Reporting in the journal Nature Materials, a team led by ...

Researchers have achieved a major milestone by creating a long-sought two-dimensional quantum material and confirming its unusual conducting edge states. The ability to control these states through ...

A team of physicists say they managed to create a new phase of matter by shooting laser pulses reading out the Fibonacci sequence to a quantum computer in Colorado. The matter phase relies on a quirk ...

Can mere mortals learn real physics, without all the analogies? Dr. Sean Carroll, Homewood Professor of Natural Philosophy at Johns Hopkins University and author of The Biggest Ideas in the Universe: ...

A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic particles. What happens to these particles within atoms would stay unexplained ...

If you enrol for a physics class at the University of Central Florida, you may be in for a big surprise. Instead of being sent to the campus bookshop to buy course books, you’ll be directed to the ...

It is just over a year since Cern, home to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), became the base for the three-year pilot phase of the Open Quantum Institute (OQI). The OQI is a multi-stakeholder, global, ...

Interview: 'Physics Fest' at Jefferson Lab Working in the news, we get to learn about all sorts of different industries and subjects. And today, we're headed to physics class!

Physics PhD student Mason Miguel was drawn to Brandeis because of its New England location, cutting-edge research, and small size. “I grew up in Rhode Island and wanted to stay close to family,” he ...

Observation of BKT and six-state clock phases reveals how magnetism behaves in two dimensions and may inspire ultracompact technologies. When researchers at UT Austin coaxed an atomically thin sheet ...
