Physicists propose a new vantage point to observe quantum fractionalization. Rice University physicists Matthew Foster and Seth Davis want to view a vexing quantum puzzle from an entirely new ...

Limiting quantum particles to move in one, two, or three dimensions has led to the observation of many striking phenomena. A prime example is the quantization of the Hall conductance measured in 2D ...

1D bands take on electronic or magnetic properties. Courtesy: Yakobson Research Group/Rice University Researchers at Rice University in the US have proposed a new way of controlling the magnetic and ...

Engineers have created a patent-pending method that creates layered perovskite nanowires with exceptionally well-defined and flexible cavities that exhibit a wide range of unusual optical properties ...

Smooth transition The polymers applied to the reflective surface trap the photon gas in a parabola of light. The narrower this parabola is, the more one-dimensionally the gas behaves. (Artistic ...

Physicists have created a one dimensional gas out of light particles for the first time. Studying how the photon gas behaves could help researchers discover some yet-unknown quantum optical effects.

SYRACUSE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--JADAK, a business unit of Novanta Corporation (“Novanta”), announces the release of the HS-1RS Secure Access Handheld Barcode Scanner, enabled with software from ...

In a world first, scientists have filmed atoms in motion, capturing their thermal vibrations in real-time with stunning clarity. The breakthrough, led by Yichao Zhang, an assistant professor at the ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue University engineers have developed a patent-pending method to synthesize high-quality, layered perovskite nanowires with large aspect ratios and tunable ...
