A proof of odd-parity superconductivity
Superconductivity is a fascinating state of matter in which an electrical current can flow without any resistance. Usually, it can exist in two forms. One is destroyed easily with a magnetic field and has "even parity" (i.e., it has a point symmetric.....»»

Scientists develop a semi-device independent, randomness-free test for quantum correlation
In a new Physical Review Letters study, scientists have successfully presented a proof of concept to demonstrate a randomness-free test for quantum correlations and non-projective measurements, offering a groundbreaking alternative to traditional qua.....»»
Navigating moiré physics and photonics with band offset tuning
When two lattices with distinct angles or periodicities come together, they conjure a moiré superlattice—a realm where astonishing phenomena like superconductivity and optical solitons spring to life. At the heart of this realm lies the moiré fla.....»»
Superconductivity at room temperature remains elusive a century after Nobel Prize for landmark discovery
On April 8, 1911, Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes scribbled in pencil an almost unintelligible note into a kitchen notebook: "near enough null.".....»»
