There's no denying that something massive lurks at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy, but a new study asks whether a ...

Physicists at the Delft University of Technology, Netherlands, have achieved a milestone that might soon revolutionize the world of quantum computing, quantum physics, and perhaps shed new light on ...

Strong interactions between particles in physical systems can result in various highly correlated ground states. These states and the strong correlations underpinning them have been extensively ...

Physicists in the Netherlands say that they have found the first evidence for the existence of “Majorana fermions” – particles that are their own antiparticles. The researchers claim to have spotted ...

In recent years physicists have realized that fermions can exhibit superfluid behaviour because of their ability to pair up at very low temperatures. Now a US group has shown that if a mixture of ...

The combined paired and periodic structure of the bubble phase of composite fermions represents an entirely new family of matter. WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Like finding a hidden world, physicists dialing ...

Fermions tend to avoid each other and cannot “travel” in close proximity. Demonstrated by a team at the Institut d’optique (CNRS/Université Paris 11, Orsay-Palaiseau), this result is described in ...

Inside materials, the interactions between groups of electrons and atoms in the crystal lattice can give rise to a variety of interesting phenomena. Their collective behavior, especially at low ...

Fermions tend to avoid each other and cannot "travel" in close proximity. Demonstrated by a team at the Institut d'optique in France, this result is described in detail in the January 25, 2007 issue ...

Figure 1: Crystal structure and band structure of MoP along the Γ–A line in the Brillouin zone. We first perform core-level photoemission measurements, which confirm the chemical composition of MoP ...

Composite fermions or electrons that capture an even number of flux quanta, are commonly used to explain ground states in the fractional quantum Hall regime. These composite fermions are typically ...

Like finding a hidden world, physicists dialing up the magnetic field on a semiconducting material have discovered the first in a new family of matter that flowers from the bizarre realm of the ...
