Physicists at Princeton University successfully visualize the 90-year-old Wigner Crystal theory. This could pave the way for ...

Much like how electric circuits use components to control electronic signals, quantum networks rely on special components and ...

In a magnetic resonance imaging experiment, nanoscale diamond particles meant for a totally different purpose shined brightly ...

the regular spacing of these sites looks like the crystal lattice of a solid, thus the name “optical lattice.” The big technical issue here is that the trapping force is created because the ...

Scientists put carbon in a deep frozen magnetic field to create Wigner crystals. This elusive state results from electrons ...

Skoltech scientists and their colleagues from Shubnikov Institute of Crystallography of RAS and research centers in China, ...

THE ions or molecules occupying the cells of a crystal lattice are in general optically anisotropic, and should also be capable of executing small angular oscillations about their positions of ...

Unlike electrons, particles of light are uncharged, so they do not respond to magnetic fields. Despite this, researchers have ...

The recent experiment produced a “true Wigner crystal,” according to the team, because the electrons in the lattice were functioning as a wave rather than as individual particles stuck together.

In oxide chemistry, scientists have known for a long time that oxide defects can spontaneously and consistently arrange themselves throughout the crystal lattice, once they reach certain ...

Princeton University researchers detect a strange form of matter that has eluded direct detection for some 90 years.
