Physicists have engineered light to drift sideways in discrete, quantized steps inside a fiber-optic loop, reproducing a ...

Topological insulators could form the basis for revolutionary electronic components. However, as they generally only function at very low temperatures, their practical application has been severely ...

Scientists have pulled off a feat long considered out of reach: getting light to mimic the famous quantum Hall effect. In their experiment, photons drift sideways in perfectly defined, quantized steps ...

Scientists are leveraging quantum physics to develop new energy production methods, aiming to address the computing industry's growing energy demands. Researchers at MIT have devised a novel approach ...

Physicists have for the first time observed light drifting sideways in discrete, quantized steps, reproducing a quantum Hall effect that was previously seen only in electrons confined to ultra-thin ...

The fractional quantum Hall effect is one of the most striking manifestations of strong electronic correlations and topology, traditionally requiring intense magnetic fields. Recently, experiments ...
