Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

Researchers have detailed the physics behind a phenomenon that allows them to create spin in liquid droplets using ultrasound waves, which concentrates solid particles suspended in the liquid. The ...

Physicists have pushed one of the strangest ideas in science into new territory, holding tiny clumps of metal in a quantum limbo that recalls Schrödinger’s famous cat. Instead of a single atom or ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

However, due to its fragility, aerogel has played a vital role in space exploration. Aerogels are 99.8 per cent air. They are ...
