Yu Chen and colleagues find that superconductivity and dissipation can coexist under generic conditions in a universal manner, thanks to a peculiar nonequilibrium state of quasiparticles. The researchers also discover an unexpected property: when a magnetic field is applied, the superconducting area expands and is enhanced.
Scientists at Yale have confirmed a long-held theoretical prediction in physics, improving the energy storage time of a quantum switch. The breakthrough opens new frontiers for quantum information processing and measurement systems.
Scientists from Case Western Reserve University discovered unique spin and valley properties in a 2-dimensional crystal, leading to potential applications in optoelectronics and solar cells. The research found that charged quasi-particles called negative trions can be manipulated to change light absorption and emission.
Scientists have discovered that higher energies cause Bose quasiparticles to decay, leading to spectrum termination in certain materials. The research, conducted using neutron scattering measurements, confirms predictions made by Russian Nobel Prize-winning physicist L.D. Landau.
