Scientists led by Hanns-Christoph Nägerl have observed anyons -- quasiparticles that differ from the familiar fermions and bosons -- in a one-dimensional quantum system for the first time. The results ...

The deep interiors of ice giants such as Uranus and Neptune may contain a previously unknown form of matter, based on new computational research by Carnegie scientists Cong Liu and Ronald Cohen.

Physicists have produced experimental evidence that anyons, exotic quasiparticles long thought to exist only in two-dimensional systems, can emerge in strictly one-dimensional quantum platforms. The ...

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one. In everyday three-dimensional space, that swap only comes in two flavors. Either the ...

“We proved the existence of a new class of quantum materials that are both metallic and one-dimensional magnets, with strong coupling between the magnetic moments and their metallic host,” said UBC ...

A study by researchers from the University of British Columbia's Blusson Quantum Matter Institute (UBC Blusson QMI) has found a rare form of one-dimensional quantum magnetism in the metallic compound ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Two Physical Review A papers outline how anyons could exist in one dimension, and how cold-atom experiments might spot them.

A study has found a rare form of one-dimensional quantum magnetism in a metallic compound, offering evidence into a phase space that has remained, until now, largely theoretical. The study comes at a ...
