The Mpemba effect—"hot water can freeze faster than cold”—has long intrigued physicists as one of nature’s most ...

For the first time, an international team of scientists has experimentally simulated spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) at zero temperature using a superconducting quantum processor. This achievement ...

From Fundamental Concepts to Dynamical Mechanisms, by Wolfgang Bietenholz and Uwe-Jens Wiese, Cambridge University Press.

For decades, physicists have relied on the principle of symmetry to simplify and understand the complex behaviors of subatomic particles. Symmetry in physics basically means that some rules of nature ...

The frontier of moiré matter has opened up a previously inaccessible realm of emergent topological phenomena. This class of materials — formed by stacking two-dimensional layers with a small twist — ...

Scientists discover how a hidden crystal pattern in advanced materials can control how they emit light, offering new ways to guide ultrafast signals using lasers. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Modern ...

The demonstration of the first antimatter quantum bit paves the way for substantially improved tests of nature’s fundamental symmetries. Particles such as the antiproton, which has the same mass but ...

Some friendly competition led up to the first discovery of entanglement at the Large Hadron Collider. Andy Jung had a secret. And he wasn’t the only one. Jung and many of his colleagues on the CMS ...
