A research team has detected optical quasiparticles on the surface of an antiferromagnetic quantum material for the very first time. (Nanowerk News) Alexey Chernikov and his team specialize in ...

At the edge of two exotic materials, scientists have discovered a new state of matter called a "quantum liquid crystal" that behaves unlike anything we've seen before. When a conductive Weyl semimetal ...

Uranium ditelluride loses superconductivity at low magnetic fields and regains it at extreme ones. A new technique reveals ...

A NIMS research team has developed a new experimental method capable of rapidly evaluating numerous material compositions by measuring anomalous Hall resistivity 30 times faster than conventional ...

Chiral molecules, which have a helical structure, are known to interact with magnets in a phenomenon known as chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS). For instance, when a chiral molecule is ...
