By twisting layers of graphene, researchers discovered a unique electronic crystal where electrons freeze in place yet allow ...

Predicting the behavior of multi-electron materials can be very challenging. The main reason for this is that these systems often contain various energy scales which compete with one another ...

For the first time, scientists have measured the shape of an electron in solids, opening the door to advances in quantum materials.

Electrons have a hidden feature — spin — that could revolutionize technology. Magnets can control it, but researchers are now ...

In recent years, there have been attempts to describe the inside of a proton using quantum information tools, with partial ...
