Experiment has now proved the existence of the predicted three-dimensional 'topological insulator' in the semiconducting alloy Bi 1−x Sb x. One of the triumphs of quantum mechanics in the ...

A kind of umbilical cord between different quantum states can be found in some materials. Researchers at TU Wien have now shown that this "umbilical cord" is generic to many materials.

With even typically warm-weather states like Florida, Texas, and South Carolina covered in a blanket of snow and ice, a lot ...

What if it were possible to change the nature of a material in a flash, turning it from an insulator into a metal within a fraction of a second? This is the feat achieved by chemists and ...

The discovery of a dual topological insulator introduces a new method for creating topological flat minibands through electron interactions, which offer a promising platform for exploring exotic ...

The rubber around this wire is an insulator. Some materials do not allow electricity to pass through them. These materials are known as electrical insulators. Make a list of all of the objects ...

Concept of a Mott-insulator (center) along with its bandfilling-controlled (left) and bandwidth-controlled (right) Mott transitions. When the band is half-filled and band energy is small, the carriers ...

The Price to Earnings (P/E) ratio, a key valuation measure, is calculated by dividing the stock's most recent closing price by the sum of the diluted earnings per share from continuing operations ...

A research team led by Prof. PAN Jianwei, Prof. WAN Zhensheng and Prof. DENG Youjin from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) observed counterflow superfluidity in two-component ...

The Asset Recovery and Management Agency (ARMA), in cooperation with the Bureau of Economic Security (BES), has secured the ...
