Puzzling Material Reveals Quantum Twist: Scientists Have Uncovered the True Nature of Bismuth

Bismuth, a puzzling material in quantum research, has now revealed a surprising twist. Kobe University scientists discovered that its surface properties can obscure its true nature, challenging a foundational assumption in topological material science. For nearly two decades, scientists have puzzled over whether bismuth belongs to a remarkable class of materials that could revolutionize quantum [...]

Observing one-dimensional anyons: Exotic quasiparticles in the coldest corners of the universe - Science Tech Updates

Scientists led by Hanns-Christoph Nägerl have observed anyons — quasiparticles that differ from the familiar fermions and bosons — in a one-dimensional quantum system for the first time. The results, published in Nature, may contribute to a better understanding of quantum matter and its potential applications. Nature categorizes particles into two fundamental types: fermions and […] The post Observing one-dimensional anyons: Exotic quasiparticle…
