Single organic molecule triggers Kondo effect in molecular-scale ‘Kondo box’
by Li Xiangyang; Zhao Weiwei, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences Illustration of a molecular Kondo-box singlet formed by large orbital overlap between symmetry-matched dπ and π…
Quantum nonlocality may be inherent in the very nature of identical particles
Nonlocality seems to be enchanted into such a fundamental property of our universe as the indistinguishability of quantum particles. Credit: IFJ PAN, AI At its deepest physical foundations, the world…
Breakthrough could connect quantum computers at 200X the distance
New research from University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) Asst. Prof. Tian Zhong could make it possible for quantum computers to connect at distances up to…
Physicists observe key evidence of unconventional superconductivity in magic-angle graphene
Physicists use a new platform to measure magic-angle graphene’s superconducting gap. The method involves “tunneling” electrons between two layers of magic-angle twisted tri-layer graphene (in yellow) while measuring the material’s…
Photoinduced non-reciprocal magnetism effectively violates Newton’s third law
A non-reciprocal phase transition to a many-body, time-dependent chiral phase occurs in layered ferromagnets. Credit: Institute of Science Tokyo A theoretical framework predicts the emergence of non-reciprocal interactions that effectively…
The Pocket-Sized Tool Transforming Physics Learning
Newswise — We can’t see or feel them, but particles from space are around us all the time. These subatomic particles, called muons, are created when cosmic rays hit the…
New model can detect ballistic electrons under realistic conditions
While energy is dissipated in the form of heat when electrons flow in the 2D material, this is not the case in the edge channel—resulting in a characteristic energy and…
