Spin glasses are physical systems in which the small magnetic moments of particles (i.e., spins) interact with each other in ...

Physicists have uncovered the fascinating world of “rotating crystals” — solids made of spinning particles that behave in ...

LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA detects two black hole mergers with rare spin patterns, offering evidence for hierarchical formation and ...

Higher Spin Field Theory is a burgeoning area of research that extends the conventional framework of gauge theories and gravity by incorporating fields with spin higher than two. Central to this field ...

The Nature Index 2024 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Dark matter makes up about 85 percent of all matter in the universe. It neither emits nor absorbs light, making it invisible ...

Scientists have discovered rotating crystals with odd elasticity that twist, fragment, and self-reassemble, revealing new ...

A team of researchers affiliated with UNIST has succeeded in identifying traces of the Kitaev quantum spin liquid (QSL) using ...

In the initial setup, the particles are evenly distributed. But when the disc is placed on the particle bed and subjected to vibration, it spontaneously begins to spin in one direction, demonstrating ...

As far as particles of light are concerned, the collective is more important than the individual. When they get to decide ...
