Pairs of photons provide a gentle way to measure the impact of a molecule’s environment on its ultrafast dynamics.

The discovery of a thermal version of the Hall effect in common semiconductors challenges our understanding of how magnetic ...

Simplified models of systems with fast and slow dynamics can miss a narrow region of phase space—a “singular funnel”—leading ...

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 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 ...

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 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 ...

A decades-old neutrino mystery might be solved not by undiscovered physics but by improved calculations. For more than 30 years, scientists have found that roughly 20% fewer electron neutrinos are ...

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

Microsoft’s announcement of achieving a milestone in a potentially transformative approach to quantum computing is met with skepticism by researchers attending the APS Global Summit. Microsoft's ...

Physicists have demonstrated a laser-based method that enables a cryogenic electron microscope to image small protein structures with greater detail than previously possible. The laser phase plate ...
