Researchers at Brown University in the US have observed fractional excitons, a new class of quantum materials in a global first. These particles that defy traditional understanding of quantum ...

Imagine a super-cold, ultra-thin layer of electrons trapped in a strong magnetic field. Normally, electrons move independently, but under extreme conditions, they start behaving in a highly ...

Amid the many mysteries of quantum physics, subatomic particles don't always follow the rules of the physical world. They can exist in two places at once, pass through solid barriers and even ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Researchers observe over a dozen never-before-seen quantum states in a unique quantum material. There are a seemingly endless number of quantum states that describe quantum matter and the strange ...

Describing natural phenomena with geometric language is one of the most important achievements of modern physics. In the context of general relativity, Einstein treats spacetime as a dynamic geometric ...

While conventional qubits remain as fragile as fine china, susceptible to environmental decoherence, topological qubits come naturally "armor-plated" with intrinsic fault tolerance. For decades, ...

In a study, physicists now observed a class of quantum particles called fractional excitons, which behave in unexpected ways and could significantly expand scientists' understanding of the quantum ...
