Physicists discover a quantum state with a new type of emergent particles: Six-flux composite fermions
PhD student and lead author Haoyun Huang is credited by Gabor Csathy as having conceived, led the measurements and writing a large part of the manuscript. Credit: Brian Powell If…
Electrons become fractions of themselves in graphene, study finds
The fractional quantum Hall effect has generally been seen under very high magnetic fields, but MIT physicists have now observed it in simple graphene. In a five-layer graphene/ hexagonal boron…

Quantum dark states lead to an advantage in noise reduction
Multilevel atoms on a superradiance potential “rollercoaster” inside an optical cavity. The system can be tuned to generate squeezing in a dark state where it will be immune to superradiance.…
Diamond quantum memory with Germanium vacancy exceeds coherence time of 20 ms
Precision in Quantum Network Operations: Laser beams finely tuned for resonant addressing and readout illuminate the GeV quantum memory. Credit: Katharina Senkalla. The color centers of diamond are the focus…
Scientists report first look at electrons moving in real-time in liquid water
Scientists used a synchronized attosecond X-ray pulse pair (pictured pink and green here) from an X-ray free electron laser to study the energetic response of electrons (gold) in liquid water…
