A team of physicists at Lancaster University has developed a camera system that can be used to capture the shadow of a sample of helium-3. In their paper published in the journal Physical Review B, the group describes their ...
Polaritons are quasiparticles that are formed when photons couple strongly with excitations of matter. These quasi-particles, which are half-light and half-matter, underpin the functioning of a wide range of emergent photonic ...
Phonons are collective atomic vibrations, or quasiparticles, that act as the main heat carriers in a crystal lattice. Under certain circumstances, their properties can be modified by electric fields or light. But until now, ...
