A Comprehensive Theory for Nematoelasticity

Theorists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign address an experimental paradox by developing a general theory uniting a kind of order known as electronic nematicity with a crystal’s elasticity. Newswise —…

Researchers Test Quantum Theory with Precision-Engineered Thin Films

The Science Comparing experimental results and theoretical calculations can be difficult for quantum materials. These are materials that have special properties, such as superconductivity, that can only be understood using the…
