In a first, US researchers have observed fractional excitons, a new class of quantum particles, that were only theoretically ...

Forced to run a labyrinth of carbon atoms uniquely arranged in twisted stacks, electrons do some rather peculiar things.

A research team discovered a quantum state in which electrons move in a completely new way under a twisted graphene structure. The unique electronic state is expected to contribute to the development ...

“Several theory groups have speculated that analogues of these structures could emerge in quantized anomalous Hall systems, ...

In quantum physics, subatomic particles behave strangely—they can be in two places simultaneously, move through solid objects ...

The team has investigated the enigmatic world of fractional quantum Hall effects (FQHE), uncovering novel, unexpected phenomena when these systems are probed in new ways and pushed beyond their ...

In particular, the research team discovered a new electronic state called "1/3 fractional quantum Hall state." This state is unique because electrons move as if in three parts, which is completely ...

8. The team’s discovery centers around a phenomenon known as the fractional quantum Hall effect, which builds on the classical Hall effect, where a magnetic field is applied to a material with ...
