Researchers at Chongqing University and Chongqing Normal University report a theoretical prediction of a new quantum phase of ...

Rydberg atoms are atoms with one or more outer electrons excited to very high energy levels, which interact very strongly ...

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

Physicists with the U.S. Department of Energy have discovered a new phase of matter—and, with apologies to George R. R. Martin, it's something of "a song of ice and fire." The new phase comes in the ...

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

Holographic models have emerged as a powerful framework for bridging disparate areas of physics through the gauge/gravity duality. This approach enables researchers to explore complex phenomena in ...

Light does not “think” in any human sense. Still, under the right conditions, it can behave in a way that looks uncannily ...

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