Illuminating an asymmetric gap in a topological antiferromagnet

Topological insulators (TIs) are among the hottest topics in condensed matter physics today. They're a bit strange: Their surfaces conduct electricity, yet their interiors do not, instead acting as insulators. Physicists ...

Chinese researchers discover novel quantum state of matter

Chinese researchers observed a novel quantum state of matter, counterflow superfluidity, in atomic ultracold quantum simulation experiments, the University of Science and Technology of China announced on Thursday.
