It is possible to make a material emit more radiation than it absorbs, violating the laws of physics in a way that could make ...

Earth’s oxygenated atmosphere and magnetic field make life possible, but scientists have discovered that there’s a hidden ...

Vacuum is often thought of as empty, but in fact it is teeming with fleeting energy fluctuations—virtual photons popping in and out of existence that can interact with matter, giving rise to new, ...

A new platform for engineering chiral electron pathways offers potential fresh insights into a quantum phenomenon discovered by chemists—and exemplifies how the second quantum revolution is fostering ...

By coaxing europium atoms into a chiral magnetic spiral, ... When the material flips to an achiral (ferromagnetic) state, the one-way effect vanishes. No asymmetry, no preferential flow.

Researchers verified the chiral-induced spin selectivity effect, i.e., the influence of chiral molecules on spin, using spintronic analytical techniques.

Armed with the concept of stable surface magnetic moments, we then formulated a theory for the photoemission CISS effect. The theory, based on spin-dependent scattering, leads to direct predictions ...

The Search for the Chiral Magnetic Effect with ALICE at the LHC. This dissertation aims to explore the possibility of breaking a specific type of symmetry, known as parity symmetry, locally in quantum ...

If the interplay between magnetism and electric fields actually triggers "enantioselective" effects, then the strength of the interaction between chiral molecules and magnetic surfaces should also ...

For example, it is widely accepted that superconductivity arises from electron–phonon interactions. Recently, there has been growing interest in the magnetic moment carried by phonon modes that show ...
