A new breakthrough may help scientists solve some of the mysteries of the quantum realm. For the first time, physicists have been able to measure the geometrical 'shape' a lone electron adopts as it ...

A new study published in Nature Physics introduces a theory of electron-phonon coupling that is affected by the quantum geometry of the electronic wavefunctions. The movement of electrons in a lattice ...

A collaboration between Stuart Parkin's group at the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics in Halle (Saale) and ...

A hidden quantum geometry that distorts electron paths has finally been observed in real materials. This “quantum metric,” once thought purely theoretical, may revolutionize electronics, ...

Describing natural phenomena with geometric language is one of the most important achievements of modern physics. In the context of general relativity, Einstein treats spacetime as a dynamic geometric ...

A physics professor at the University of Nevada, Reno and his colleagues have identified quantum geometry as an opportunity to increase the superconducting temperature of two-dimensional ...

Physicists found electrons synchronizing in star-shaped Kagome crystals, showing geometry can tune quantum behavior and shape material function. (Nanowerk News) Physicists at the Max Planck Institute ...

Physicists recently mapped the hidden shape that underlies the quantum behaviors of a crystal, using a new method that’s expected to become ubiquitous. Famously, at the quantum scale, particles can be ...
