A hallmark property of unconventional superconductivity has been discovered in a type-I superconductor, whereas it’s normally observed only in type-II materials. Superconductors can be broadly ...

A newly predicted effect should provide a clean way to distinguish between a Bose-Einstein condensate of quasiparticles ...

Researchers have gained access to the rich physics of a landmark model magnet by assembling a crystal out of organic magnetic molecules. The S = 1 Haldane chain is an infinite 1D string of integer ...

A tabletop experiment using a classical water vortex supports a decades-old theory describing the decay of turbulence in quantum fluids. Figure 1: A numerical simulation of a quantized vortex in a ...

A proposed lab-based quantum sensor could precisely measure within seconds the warping of spacetime caused by Earth’s rotation. Einstein’s theory of general relativity predicts that Earth’s rotation ...

Contrary to expectations, the magnetization dynamics of a ferromagnet can be accelerated by increasing temperature, laser excitation, or magnetic field—a behavior that holds promise for high-speed ...

Researchers demonstrate a new quantum memory device that will enable faraway nodes in a network to coordinate in time, a key ingredient for a future quantum Internet. To sustain delicate light-based ...

Increasing the charging rate of a quantum battery leads to unavoidable fluctuations in the total energy stored. A quantum battery exploits quantum correlations between its component cells to achieve ...

A new model shows how cells could optimize biochemical sensing by balancing information gained against energy spent. A cell never senses its environment directly. Instead, it receives a noisy stream ...

A precisely engineered material interface can host the spin currents needed for practical spin-based electronics. Ordinary electronic devices store and process information using only the charge of ...

New estimates suggest that some crypto-security systems may soon become vulnerable to quantum-powered break-ins. Quantum breach. In the near future, hackers might be able to use quantum computers to ...
