Researchers at RPTU University Kaiserslautern-Landau have achieved a key experimental breakthrough: For the first time, the spontaneous macroscopic coherence of magnons—the quantized excitations of ...

The Nature Index tracks primary research articles from 178 applied, health, natural and social sciences journals, across many different publishers, chosen by an independent group of researchers. The ...

A novel technique for studying vortices in quantum fluids has been developed by physicists. Turbulence in quantum systems, for example in superfluid helium 4, takes place on microscopic scales, and so ...

Superconductors, capable of conducting electricity without loss, are essential for quantum computers, MRIs, and maglev trains. But these materials only work at extremely low temperatures, ...

Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) is normally limited to temperatures near absolute zero but researchers have now seen it at a much warmer 100 Kelvin for excitons (electron-hole pairs) in atomically ...

A new type of thin-film acoustic-wave resonator that is capable of simultaneously measuring mass as well as temperature has been unveiled by an international team of researchers. It allows users to ...

How does a classical temperature form in the quantum world? Scientists have now directly observed the emergence and the spreading of a temperature in a quantum system. Remarkably, the quantum ...

A novel technique for studying vortices in quantum fluids has been developed by Lancaster physicists. Andrew Guthrie, Sergey Kafanov, Theo Noble, Yuri Pashkin, George Pickett and Viktor Tsepelin, in ...
