Nonreciprocal quantum batteries exhibit remarkable capacities and efficiency
In physics, nonreciprocity occurs when a system's response varies depending on the direction in which waves or signals are propagating within it. This asymmetry arises from a break in so-called time-reversal symmetry, which essentially means that a s.....»»
Records of Pompeii"s survivors have been found—archaeologists are starting to understand how they rebuilt their lives
