Physicists show tensor mesons play important role in light-on-light scattering
Light is scattered by light—via virtual particles. Credit: Vienna University of Technology Usually, light waves can pass through each other without any resistance. According to the laws of electrodynamics, two…
Physicists discover new state of quantum matter
Credit: CC0 Public Domain Researchers at the University of California, Irvine have discovered a new state of quantum matter. The state exists within a material that the team reports could…
Researchers uncover a topological excitonic insulator with a tunable momentum order
Artistic illustration of a topological exciton insulator: Excitons condense in the bulk of the material, forming a collective insulating phase, while topologically protected edge modes propagate freely along the sample’s…
