Astronomers observe the effect of dark matter on the evolution of the galaxies
Dark matter comprises around 85% of all the matter in the universe. Although ordinary matter absorbs, reflects and emits light, dark matter cannot be seen directly, which makes its detection difficult. Its existence is inferred from its gravitational.....»»
Scientists discover exotic quantum interference effect in a topological insulator device
In a novel experiment, physicists have observed long range quantum coherence effects due to Aharonov-Bohm interference in a topological insulator-based device. This finding opens up a new realm of possibilities for the future development of topologic.....»»
Physicists discover a quantum state with a new type of emergent particles: Six-flux composite fermions
If the fractional quantum Hall regime were a series of highways, these highways would have either two or four lanes. The flow of the two-flux or four-flux composite fermions, like automobiles in this two- to four-flux composite fermion traffic scenar.....»»
