Research Analyzes the Future of Topological Insulators Using Sound Waves

The Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) is participating in a study, which examines the prospect of topological insulators utilizing sound waves—that is, materials that act similar to acoustic insulators in their interior and yet simultaneously enable sound waves to move at their surface.

Physicists Explore the Link Between Photon Mass and Large-Scale Astrophysical Phenomena

It is perplexing to think about how stars in galaxies, such as the Milky Way, rotate. The orbital speeds of stars are supposed to decrease as the distance from the galaxy center increases; however, in reality, the rotational speeds of stars in the middle and outer regions of galaxies are the same.

Scientists Demonstrate How Light Pulses Can be Used to Improve Superconductivity

Mott insulators are odd materials. They should conduct electricity under normal electron band theory; however, they do not do so because of the interactions among their electrons.

Researchers for the First Time Witness the Quantum Mechanical Interference of Quasiparticles

Not all qubits—the units used to encode data in quantum computing—are produced equal. Some scientists assume that topological qubits, which are more robust and less prone to environmental noise when compared to other types, may be the best medium to advance quantum computing.

Researchers Find Topological Materials to be More Common than Thought Earlier

Taking a major stride forward in a research field that was awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physics, an international research team has discovered that topological materials—substances that have strange electronic behaviors—are actually very common, and include usual elements such as gold and arsenic.

Neutrinos Observed in Galaxy Clusters

The universe, in the early times, was an energetic blend of powerfully interacting particles. The first particles to split free from this thick soup were neutrinos, the lightest and most feebly interacting particles of the Standard Model of particle physics.
