A joint research team that included members from Tohoku University has unveiled a new topological insulator (TI), a unique state of matter that differs from conventional metals, insulators, and ...

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American Ah, the circle. It’s a workhorse of ...

For the first time, researchers have shown that self-assembled phosphorus chains can host genuinely one-dimensional electron behavior. Using advanced imaging and spectroscopy techniques, they ...

New quantum category: Physicists have revealed a one-dimensional system that could host anyons, particles that defy the boson–fermion classification. Tunable particle behavior: These anyons may be ...
