Spin-orbit coupling – a ubiquitous interaction in condensed-matter physics – has been simulated in ultracold neutral atoms for the first time by physicists in the US. Their experiment involves firing ...

Aimed at the problem that the quality of the formation of aero-rotor blades with complex shaped structures is difficult to predict due to the coupling of each physical field in the process of ...

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania in the US claim that polaritons – quasiparticles that are part matter and part light – couple more strongly when confined in nanoscale semiconductors. The ...

Spin–orbit coupling links a particle’s velocity to its quantum-mechanical spin, and is essential in numerous condensed matter phenomena, including topological insulators and Majorana fermions. In ...

Atoms are complex quantum systems consisting of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons. When multiple atoms come together to form a molecule, the electrons of the ...

Space weather forecasting remains a major challenge in heliophysics, as geomagnetic storms continue to pose significant risks to satellite operations, power ...
