Vacuum in optical cavity can change material's magnetic state without laser excitation

Researchers in Germany and the U.S. have produced the first theoretical demonstration that the magnetic state of an atomically thin material, α-RuCl3, can be controlled solely by placing it into an optical cavity. Crucially, ...

In helium-three, superfluid particles pair 'like a dance in space'

Picture a nanoscale dance floor full of independently moving particles. When things really start to heat up—or, in this case, cool down—particles partner off, but on opposite sides of the space, "dancing" in synch as ...

AI algorithm learns microscopic details of nematicity in moiré systems

Identifying and understanding experimental signatures of phases of matter is usually a challenging task due to strong electron interactions in a material and can become even harder due to external influences in samples with ...
