A joint research team from Japan has observed "heavy fermions," electrons with dramatically enhanced mass, exhibiting quantum ...

A peer-reviewed study reports the development of ultrafast modulation technology in nanoelectronics. Physicists from ...

Physicists at Bielefeld University and the Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research Dresden (IFW Dresden) ...

In a spin qubit, the property of the state (on/off) is defined by the electron spin, or quantum state, of the qubit, which is always either spin up or spin down. The state is changed by flipping the ...

While quantum mechanics explains the small-scale, low-energy behavior of electrons, relativity becomes important when those same electrons move fast enough for strange effects like spin-orbit coupling ...

Taken from the October 2018 issue of Physics World, which celebrates 30 years of the world’s best physics magazine. James McKenzie reflects on the impact of the solid-state laser, a device in its ...

Progress in solid-state physics tends to occur in increments rather than leaps. Experimentalists perform measurements, and theorists refine their models based on the results.

40-year controversy in solid-state physics resolved Date: February 6, 2018 Source: Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie Summary: An international team has shown that the puzzling ...

During the final tests, the thermal heat probe failed and could not be used on the remaining lots. Once again, the engineer refused to approve the units based on a smaller sample and my ...
