A Majorana fermion is a particle that would be identical to its antiparticle. Such an object has not yet been found. However, ...

Scientists say they can explain dark matter by positing a particle that links to a fifth dimension. While the “warped extra dimension” (WED) is a trademark of a popular physic ...

Embezzlement of entanglement is an exotic phenomenon in quantum information science, describing the possibility of extracting entanglement from a resource system without changing its quantum state. In ...

Physicists captured the first images that directly show the pairing of fermions. The snapshots of particles pairing up in a cloud of atoms can provide clues to how electrons pair up in a ...

Scientists have made a satisfying and intriguing physics discovery some 16 years after it was first predicted to be a possibility: a quasiparticle (a group of particles behaving as one) that only has ...

We largely think of the world in four dimensions — time and the three spatial dimensions. But a fifth dimension might actually solve this longstanding mystery.

Beijing Zhongke Journal Publising Co. Ltd. Heavy fermion materials have long attracted interest in condensed matter physics for hosting correlation-driven exotic quantum states. Remarkably, the oxide ...

Scientists in Japan have uncovered a strange new behavior in “heavy” electrons — particles that act as if they carry far more mass than usual. These electrons were found to be entangled, sharing a ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Theoretical understanding of heavy-fermion superconductors has just slipped a notch or two, says a team of experimentalists. Researchers from the University of Illinois at ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- When your laptop or smartphone heats up, it’s due to energy that’s lost in translation. The same goes for power lines that transmit electricity between cities. In fact, around 10 ...
