The proof, known to be so hard that a mathematician once offered 10 martinis to whoever could figure it out, uses number ...

As someone who studies materials, Lu Li knows people want to hear about the exciting new applications and technologies his ...

Researchers from the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw and the University of British Columbia have described how a so-called lone spinon—an exotic quantum excitation that is a single ...

The 2025 Nobel prize in Physics has been awarded to three scientists for the discovery of an effect that has applications in medical devices and quantum computing.

Spin glasses are physical systems in which the small magnetic moments of particles (i.e., spins) interact with each other in ...

Boron nitride sensors enable quantum measurements under crushing pressure, redefining high-pressure physics. The quantum ...

U-M researchers and a really strong magnetic field help answer a question about the 'new duality' in materials physics Study: Quantum Oscillations 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 ...

The study of quantum mechanics in conjunction with geometric effects in magnetic fields represents a rapidly evolving domain that bridges fundamental physics and emerging technologies. The intricate ...

Boffins have emerged from their smoke filled labs having come up with a more viable way to do quantum computing and sensing, by creating much longer-lasting quantum states. Scientists have poked at ...
