Quantum criticality itself, however, turned out to come in different manifestations. Specifically in transition metal compounds, quantum criticality can…
In synchrotron radiation sources such as BESSY II, electron bunches orbit the storage ring at almost the speed of light. They are forced to emit extremely…
For years physicists have been trying to decipher the electronic details of high-temperature superconductors. These materials could revolutionize energy…
Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) are a long-sought “missing link” in black hole evolution. There have been a few other IMBH candidates found to date.
Using the same technology that allows high-frequency signals to travel on regular phone lines, researchers tested sending extremely high-frequency, 200 GHz…
Specifically of interest are the physical processes responsible for producing heavy elements — like gold, platinum and uranium — that are thought to happen…
A 15-member research team from the UK, Germany and Japan has developed a new method for generating and detecting quantum-entangled photons at a wavelength of…
The quantum-optical properties of light and its interaction with matter has fascinated the Rostock professor Alexander Szameit since College.
Over the past few years, scientists have developed amazing tools – “cameras” that use X-rays or electrons instead of ordinary light ¬- to take rapid-fire…
Photodetectors, a key optoelectrical component for the translation of optical signals into electrical signals, are of great interest to a wide range of…
The report, the Community Plan for Fusion Energy and Discovery Plasma Sciences, “reflects the enthusiasm among the U.S. fusion and plasma physics community to…
Crystals have an ordered arrangement of atoms. Ice, i.e., frozen water, represents an exception. Here, the hydrogen atoms can occupy different orientations…
For exploring the nanoscale far beyond the optical resolution limit, tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) is widely recognized as an essential yet still…
Terahertz waves are becoming ever more important in science and technology. They enable us to unravel the properties of future materials, test the quality of…
The next round of the stepwise expansion of the Wendelstein 7-X fusion device at Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) at Greifswald is in full swing….
