in a copper-clad laboratory in Vienna, the textbook understanding of electricity is starting to crack. what’s emerging is a new vision of electronics without the electron.

‘Strange metals’ point to a whole new way to understand electricity
Exotic materials with bizarre electron behavior could pave the road to revolutionary technologies

My paper "Metric-induced non-Hermitian physics" is now published in @SciPostPhys! I show how non-Hermitian physics such as skin effect and non-unitary time evolution can emerge naturally from an effective spacetime curvature.

A legitimate concern that CondMat Physicists should have with the Trump admin is what he'll do to the CHIPS Act and scientific funding for research. Not investing in CM Physics research is a HUGE national security risk. Will Trump mess this up like he has in the past?

Hi! We are a theoretical physics research project in ICFO, Barcelona, which tries to find a way to use atoms and light (especially: atoms arranged in regular arrays, exchanging photons) to study complex quantum states known as topological orders.

Physical properties of the ferromagnetic quantum critical system ${\text{YbNi}}_{4}(\text{P}{}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}\text{As}{}_{x}{)}_{2}$
The heavy-fermion system YbNi4P${}_{2}$ is arguably the ferromagnetic (FM) metal with the lowest Curie temperature (${T}_{c}$=0.17 K). It has been shown that replacing P with As tunes this system to a...
