Physicists have discovered that hidden magnetic order plays a key role in the pseudogap, a puzzling state of matter that ...

Physicists have uncovered a link between magnetism and a mysterious phase of matter called the pseudogap, which appears in ...

Physicists have been chasing quantum spin liquids for decades, hunting for materials where magnetic moments refuse to freeze ...

In a breakthrough that could transform the understanding of quantum magnetism, scientists have shown that a spinon, which was once believed to exist only in pairs, can travel alone. The discovery ...

UD researchers develop optical method to detect magnetic behavior of antiferromagnets, paving the way for advanced computing ...

Quantum materials can behave in surprising ways when many tiny spins act together, producing effects that don’t exist in ...

We’re probably all familiar with the Hall Effect, at least to the extent that it can be used to make solid-state sensors for magnetic fields. It’s a cool bit of applied physics, but there are other ...

Simmons says that silicon quantum processors offer an inherent advantage in scaling, too. Generating numerous registers on a ...
