Spiralling spin liquid revealed by neutron scattering. As well as having the potential to shine new light on the physics of high-temperature superconductors, quantum spin liquids could be created ...

In a remarkable development, researchers have successfully turned light into a supersolid for the first time, paving the way for new insights into the unusual quantum states of matter. This ...

Physicists have long theorized the existence of a unique state of matter known as a quantum spin liquid. In this state, magnetic particles do not settle into an orderly pattern, even at absolute ...

Kitaev QSL is a unique form of the quantum spin liquid state. In this state, spin particles within a solid do not align even at low temperatures, maintaining a fluid and disordered state akin to ...

“We filled a specially designed cavity with superfluid liquid helium,” Harris explained. “Then we use laser light to monitor an individual sound wave in the liquid helium. The volume of helium in ...

Scientists at Princeton University have developed a quantum system that locks individual photons together in such a way that they behave like a solid or liquid. The research impacts on our ...

Physics Bubbles give off weird light when popped because of quantum physics. Sonoluminescence, in which small bubbles in a liquid produce flashes of light when they collapse, is now known to be a ...

It is also known as the fifth state of matter, besides gas, liquid, solid, and plasma. Related reading: Bose-Einstein condensate . The observation of liquid light under ambient conditions is expected ...

The first-ever quantum liquid crystal was discovered in 1999 by Caltech's Jim Eisenstein, the Frank J. Roshek Professor of Physics and Applied Physics. Eisenstein's quantum liquid crystal was two ...

The experimental setup shows a sample of quantum dots in water solution placed in front of a photomultiplier tube. (Courtesy: King's College London) Neutrino detectors contain up to tens of thousands ...

Theoretical physicists along with an experimental team have found evidence of a quantum spin liquid in a material known as pyrochlore cerium stannate. They achieved this by combining state-of-the ...

Ordinary light is thought to be composed of waves, but more recent findings show that light also has liquid properties. Superfluid Bose-Einstein condensates follow the rules of quantum physics ...
