Rare quantum state: Researchers observed the long-theorized obstructed atomic insulator phase in NbSe₂ and WSe₂, where ...

Scientists show that the geometry behind light waves can affect how light moves and interacts inside materials. Their ...

Insulators are materials in which electrons cannot move freely. Past theoretical studies predicted the existence of an unusual insulating state dubbed obstructed atomic insulator (OAI), in which ...

Scientists have long sought to understand the quantum metric (QM)—a fundamental quantity that measures how rapidly neighboring electronic states in a solid change across momentum space. Predicted to ...

Imagine you are out on a walk. Outside the house in the fresh air you may have left the walls behind, but even so there are boundaries that limit where you can wander. In a city, you are constrained ...

Advanced oxidation processes based on Fenton-like catalysis have been a core decontamination technology to protect the aquatic environment. However, implementing such technologies in an economically ...

Famously, at the quantum scale, particles can be in multiple possible locations at once. A particle’s state spreads out like a wave, peaking where the particle is likely to be found. When you measure ...
