In the natural world, many things come in mirror-image pairs. Your left and right hands are a perfect example—they look alike but can’t be perfectly superimposed. This idea, called chirality or ...
A mysterious magnetic material once thought to host an exotic “quantum spin liquid” has turned out to be something entirely different—and possibly just as intriguing. Scientists studying cerium ...
Magnetic materials in a quantum spin liquid phase are of great interest in the pursuit of exotic state of matter and quantum computation. But in the quantum realm, things are not always what they seem ...
A strained form of barium titanate thin film on gadolinium scandate shows an electro-optic response 10 times stronger than today’s best materials at cryogenic temperatures. UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — A ...
