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 ...

An international team of researchers has discovered that the quantum particles responsible for the vibrations of ...

The boundary between solid metal and liquid metal can be much less "solid" than we ever suspected. RMIT researchers have ...

According to research published in Physical Review Research, a research team led by Prof. Luo Xuan from the Hefei Institutes ...

By analyzing images made of colored dots created by quantum simulators, ETH researchers have studied a special kind of ...

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 ...

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.

Researchers at Princeton University in the US say they have made the first direct observation of a Wigner crystal – a ...

The boundary between solid metal and liquid metal can be much less ‘solid’ than we ever suspected. RMIT researchers have discovered that the liquid-solid boundary can fluctuate back and forth, with ...

This had led to suggestions that protons permeate not through the crystal lattice itself, but through the pinholes in its structure. Now, writing in Nature, a collaboration between the University of ...

Doping in this way turns a regular silicon crystal lattice into n-type and p-type semiconductors. N-type semiconductors have mobile electrons; p-type semiconductors have mobile "holes." ...
