In a process analogous to how solids melt into liquids, the electrons in many different metals form crystal-like patterns ...

A research team led by the Paul Scherrer Institute has spectroscopically observed the fractionalization of electronic charge in an iron-based metallic ferromagnet. Experimental observation of the ...

Yet even at this apparently late date in the field’s development, there are companies that are still developing entirely new qubit technologies, betting the company that they have identified something ...

Findings indicate that tuning an electrode's density of states can optimize reorganization energy, improving charge-transfer ...

New quantum control: Researchers melted electron crystals in tantalum sulfide, showing that charge density waves can be tuned to alter a metal’s conductivity. Potential applications: Controlling ...

What was discovered: Scientists observed that electron crystals in metals can deform and melt like solids, disrupting their ordered patterns. Why it matters: Manipulating these structures could enable ...
