Research in the lab of UC Santa Barbara materials professor Stephen Wilson is focused on understanding the fundamental ...

With an advanced technology known as angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), scientists are able to map out a material's electron energy-momentum relationship, which encodes the material's ...

Scientists have demonstrated that light alone can reversibly control magnetism in a topological material. Researchers at the ...

Data from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) has revealed that particles retain spin signatures from the quantum ...

Quantum computing has long been constrained by the messy reality of controlling fragile qubits with bulky, power-hungry ...

Physicists have discovered that hidden magnetic order plays a key role in the pseudogap, a puzzling state of matter that ...

Imagine traveling through a city where the streets themselves change shape depending on how fast you drive down them. For ...

Katie has a PhD in maths, specializing in the intersection of dynamical systems and number theory. She reports on topics from maths and history to society and animals. Katie has a PhD in maths, ...

We’re probably all familiar with the Hall Effect, at least to the extent that it can be used to make solid-state sensors for magnetic fields. It’s a cool bit of applied physics, but there are other ...

Quantum materials can behave in surprising ways when many tiny spins act together, producing effects that don’t exist in single particles.

The study of quantum mechanics in conjunction with geometric effects in magnetic fields represents a rapidly evolving domain that bridges fundamental physics and emerging technologies. The intricate ...
