The world of materials research is constantly evolving, with new technologies and advancements pushing the boundaries of what is possible. One area that has seen significant progress in recent years is synchrotron radiation. When ultrafast electrons are deflected, they emit light known as synchrotron radiation. This light is longitudinally incoherent and consists of a broad

Supersymmetry, often abbreviated as SUSY, stands out as a groundbreaking theory within particle physics that offers solutions to some of the most perplexing unanswered questions. Among its various intriguing propositions, one prominent aspect of this theory is the idea that every known particle possesses a corresponding “superpartner” with distinct characteristics. For instance, the Standard Model’s

The world of laser technology has been transformed by the innovation of chip-scale Ti:sapphire lasers developed by researchers at Stanford University. Traditional Ti:sapphire lasers have always been known for their exceptional performance, but have been limited by their large size, high cost, and the need for other expensive lasers to power them. However, the new

The study published in Nature Communications by Rice University’s Qimiao Si and his team sheds light on the existence of flat electronic bands at the Fermi level and the potential implications for quantum computing and electronic devices. Quantum materials, governed by the rules of quantum mechanics, exhibit unique energy states that form a ladder structure,

For the past seven decades, the concept of “kugelblitze,” black holes formed by incredibly dense concentrations of light, has captured the imagination of astrophysicists. The idea that these unique black holes could be connected to phenomena like dark matter and potentially serve as the power source for future spaceship engines has been a subject of

The collaboration between Professor Szameit’s research group at the University of Rostock and researchers from the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg has led to a groundbreaking discovery in the field of optical chips. By incorporating the concept of topologically protected wave propagation, they were able to stabilize the interference of two photons in optical circuits. This research, which

A recent study published in Physical Review Letters (PRL) sheds light on the potential of quadratic electron-phonon coupling to elevate superconductivity through the creation of quantum bipolarons. The interaction between electrons and lattice vibrations known as phonons, referred to as electron-phonon coupling, plays a crucial role in enabling superconductivity in certain materials by facilitating the

Photonic alloys, a combination of two or more photonic crystals, have long been considered promising materials for controlling the propagation of electromagnetic waves, particularly as waveguides. However, a significant drawback of these materials has been their tendency to reflect light back in the direction of its origin, known as light backscattering. This limitation has hindered

The research team at the University of Tsukuba made a groundbreaking discovery regarding electron spins in magnetic materials. They found that fluctuations in these spins can trigger a large anomalous Hall effect during a phase transition known as the devil’s staircase magnetic transition. This finding is crucial for the progression of magneto-thermoelectric conversion, a technology

In a groundbreaking new study, scientists at the University of Nottingham’s School of Physics have developed a unique 3D printed vacuum system aimed at trapping dark matter to detect domain walls. This revolutionary approach is set to shed light on some of the universe’s most intriguing mysteries. The team of researchers, led by Professor Clare
