Researchers in Finland have experimentally realized a long-predicted class of quantum material: a two-dimensional topological ...

When most people hear "polymer," they think of plastics. In our group, polymerization is a way to line up identical molecules like beads on a string and let quantum mechanics take over. Put magnetic ...

A ring of 13 carbon atoms and two chlorine atoms has a remarkable molecular structure that means you would have to go around the loop four times to return to your starting position ...

Mathematicians say knots cannot exist in four-dimensional space because the extra dimension allows a rope to move around itself and untangle, revealing surprising insights into geometry and topology.

An international team of researchers has forced light to replicate the quantum Hall effect, a Nobel Prize–winning phenomenon ...

Researchers have discovered new ways to shape quantum light, creating high-dimensional states that can carry much more ...

We can tie knots in three dimensions because one-dimensional ropes “catch on each other”. This is why a long rope wound around itself, if done right, won’t come apart. We trust knots with our lives ...

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one.

Researchers have identified a class of quantum materials, called topological semimetals, that can split water into hydrogen fuel using nothing but sunlight, sidestepping the expensive platinum-based ...

A subtle twist between atomically thin magnetic layers can generate unexpectedly large and complex spin structures.

Lucas is a writer and narrative designer from Argentina with over 15 years of experience writing for games and news. He keeps a watchful eye at the gaming world and loves to write about the hottest ...

Large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the AI landscape, demonstrating remarkable capabilities across a wide range of tasks. Each new model seemingly reinforces the notion that modern ...
