Researchers have uncovered clear evidence of exotic quantum excitations inside a rare 3D spin liquid, validating decades of ...

Electrons are proficient little magicians. They seem to flit about an atom without tracing a particular path, they frequently appear to be in two places at once, and their behavior in silicon ...

An international team led by the University of Oxford has identified one of the largest rotating structures ever reported: a ...

The colossal black hole lurking at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is spinning almost as fast as its maximum rotation rate. That's just one thing astrophysicists have discovered after developing ...

Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity does a great job at explaining gravity but it is thought to be incomplete ...

One of the most notable aspects about our planet—if observed from the outside—is that it spins. Earth’s spin defines our days, setting the fundamental rhythm of life on our world. The moon spins, too.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Superconductivity occurs when electrical current moves without resistance, a phenomenon that gave rise to particle accelerators, magnetic resonance imagining machines and trains ...

Computational detective work by U.S. and German physicists has confirmed that cerium zirconium pyrochlore is a 3D quantum spin liquid. Despite the name, quantum spin liquids are solid materials in ...

A spinning sphere of molten sodium behaves nothing like researchers predicted. As the liquid metal rotates, it generates chaotic magnetic fields that appear and collapse almost instantly. The ...
