Well, the electrons are forming a new quantum state where they move as if they were fractional particles rather than whole ...

If one side of a conducting or semiconducting material is heated while the other remains cool, charge carriers move from the ...

The Quantum Hall Effect was first observed in 1980 by Klaus von Klitzing, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1985. It occurs in two-dimensional electron gases found in ...

Scholars at the School of Engineering of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have unveiled an ...

This is important because this "fractional quantum Hall effect" has only been seen in a few systems, usually under very high magnetic fields. The Ju work showed that the phenomenon could occur in ...

China releases its biggest 10 scientific advances of 2024, including space, health, and quantum research at Zhongguancun ...

Quantum Hall is the quantum-level version of the Hall effect: a voltage produced as electrons flow through a magnetic field. In two-dimensional materials and at low temperatures the quantum ...

With today’s data rates of only a few hundred megabytes per second, access to digital information remains relatively slow. Initial experiments have already shown a promising new strategy: Magnetic ...

Jain, Professor of Physics at Penn State University, has been awarded the prestigious 2025 Wolf Prize in Physics. Jain shares this honor with two fellow physicists, Mordehai “Moty” Heiblum and James ...
