Harvard team creates a cold-atom Fermi–Hubbard antiferromagnet
(Phys.org)—A team at Harvard University has found a way to create a cold-atom Fermi–Hubbard antiferromagnet, which offers new insight into how electrons behave in solids. In their paper published in the journal Nature, ...
Elusive atomic motion captured by electron microscopy
The movement of atoms through a material can cause problems under certain circumstances. Atomic-resolution electron microscopy has enabled researchers at Linköping University in Sweden to observe for the first time a phenomenon ...

Best of Last Week – Study backs Standard Model, splitting an electron and human attention span now shorter than goldfish
(Phys.org)—It was a pretty big week for physics as a team of researchers working at CERN's LHC reported that a three-decade long quest backs physics' Standard Model. They detected a revealing change in a sub-atomic particle ...
Three-decade quest backs physics' 'Standard Model'
Scientists on Wednesday said that after a nearly three-decade bid they had detected a telltale change in a sub-atomic particle, further backing a key theory about the Universe.
