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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Astronomers have identified one of the largest rotating structures ever observed, located 140 million ...

In episode three of What's in a name we look at how ideas can be lost in translation when physicists try to name the unknown. Categorizing things is central to science. And there are dozens of systems ...
