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 ...

A stock abstract image of light Ifongdesign/iStock / Getty Images Plus. In our lives, we tend to encounter matter mainly in three distinct phases—solid, liquid and gases. (Although you may come ...

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in ...

Physics Liquid crystals could improve quantum communication devices. Quantum light is key to futuristic quantum technologies, but researchers have been creating it in the same way for 60 years ...

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 ...

The field of condensed matter physics explores the macroscopic and microscopic properties of matter. Condensed Matter physicists study how matter arises from a large number of interacting atoms and ...

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 ...
