A team of physicists has experimentally confirmed a long-predicted sequence of exotic magnetic phases in an atomically thin ...

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one.

Strange things happen to materials when you peel them down, layer by layer, from thick chunks all the way to sheets just an ...

By cooling an atom-thin magnetic material, physicists have experimentally confirmed a classic 1970s model of two-dimensional ...

Physicists confirmed the full two-dimensional six-state clock model in atomically thin nickel phosphorus trisulfide, ...

A pair of photons enters an optical maze, and sometimes they leave as something new. Not new in the everyday sense, since both were still photons when they came out.

Physicists at The University of Texas at Austin have experimentally confirmed a decades-old theory ...

Restricting a strange class of particles known as anyons to one dimension could force them into adopting one of two new forms, models suggest, hinting at new fundamental interactions in particle ...

Researchers have taken a significant step to make quantum computers multi-dimensional. Classical computer only ...

Scientists have observed a new microscopic mechanism enabling precise control of the magneto-optical properties of excitons in alloys of two-dimensional semiconductors. This discovery opens up ...

“This project started with a simple question: why do basketball shoes squeak?” Adel Djellouli, a study co-author and ...

A subtle twist between atomically thin magnetic layers can generate unexpectedly large and complex spin structures.
