In many quantum materials—materials with unusual electrical and magnetic properties driven by quantum mechanical effects—electrons can organize themselves into Landau levels. Landau levels are ...

In physics, the classical "Hall effect," discovered in the late 19th century, describes how a transverse voltage is generated ...

A new study examined the mechanism governing the nonlinear Hall effect, paving the way for battery-free devices.

A group of scientists has created a quantum material where electricity can flow without losing energy as heat. Until now, this was only seen in ...

A new study has revealed how tiny imperfections and vibrations inside a promising quantum material could be used to control an unusual quantum effect ...

As quantum Hall effects interact with subtle material vibrations, energy conversion occurs naturally, pointing toward ultra-efficient, low-voltage operation ...

Physicists artificially slowed down time to reveal the bizarre Terrell-Penrose effect, a consequence of special relativity. This image from the experiment shows a sphere seemingly moving at 99.9 ...

A team of US researchers has unveiled a device that can conduct electricity along its fractionally charged edges without losing energy to heat. Described in Nature Physics, the work, led by Xiaodong ...
