A research team at the University of Genova has developed the spin quantum battery, an energy storage system that uses the spin degrees of freedom of particles. The battery utilizes the spin ...

The path toward realizing practical quantum technologies begins with understanding the fundamental physics that govern quantum behavior—and how those phenomena can be harnessed in real materials.

Far above Earth, scientists are using quantum sensors to listen for the faintest whispers of unseen forces that may weave through the universe. Scientists are constantly searching for new clues about ...

Spin glasses are physical systems in which the small magnetic moments of particles (i.e., spins) interact with each other in ...

Having good neighbors can be very valuable—even in the atomic world. A team of Amsterdam physicists was able to determine an ...

In October 2024 the network detected a clear signal that pointed back to a merger that occurred 700 million light-years away. The progenitor black holes were 20 and 6 solar masses and the larger ...

Physicists have unveiled a fascinating class of materials: rotating crystals made of spinning particles that behave in ways almost reminiscent of living systems. These“odd” solids can twist rather ...
