A research group from the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences ...

Well, the electrons are forming a new quantum state where they move as if they were fractional particles rather than whole ...

Their goal was to investigate how electrons behave in twisted bilayer graphene, a form of carbon that becomes superconductive under certain conditions. An unexpected twist in their experimental setup ...

If one side of a conducting or semiconducting material is heated while the other remains cool, charge carriers move from the ...

In a first, physicists have directly seen Hofstadter’s butterfly—a long-sought-after fractal in the quantum realm ...

Researchers have created a bilayer metasurface made of two stacked layers of titanium dioxide nanostructures, opening new possibilities for structuring light.
