A team at EPFL and the University of Arizona has discovered that making molecules bigger and more flexible can actually extend the life of quantum charge flow, a finding that could help shape the ...

Quantum materials, materials exhibiting physical behavior governed by the laws of quantum mechanics, have proved promising ...

Researchers in Japan have taken advantage of an unintuitive quantum process that disregards the conventional notion of causality to improve the performance of so-called “quantum batteries.” They ...

Batteries could charge up by relying on a quantum effect known as indefinite causal order, whereby the laws of cause and effect are scrambled and power can move through the system quicker. When you ...

HOUSTON – (Nov. 23, 2023) – True to form, a “strange metal” quantum material proved strangely quiet in recent quantum noise experiments at Rice University. Published this week in Science, the ...

Although electrons are considered elementary particles, meaning they don’t break apart into further subatomic particles, they can be splintered in what’s known as “fractional charge.” For decades, ...

Quantum batteries could charge more efficiently by skirting conventional rules of causality. Yuanbo Chen at the University of Tokyo and his colleagues analysed whether a particularly counterintuitive ...

In physics, the classical "Hall effect," discovered in the late 19th century, describes how a transverse voltage is generated when an electric current is exposed to a perpendicular magnetic field.

Experiments have provided the first direct evidence that electricity seems to flow through 'strange metals' in an unusual liquid-like form. True to form, a "strange metal" quantum material proved ...
