- Quantum breakthrough links light and magnetism in atomically thin materials
A new review highlights progress in atomically thin quantum materials where light-generated excitons interact with magnetic behavior. This breakthrough could enable controlling magnetic states using light, leading to advancements in optical memory, quantum devices, and photonic technologies.
- Cavity-driven attractive interactions in quantum materials
A broadband, sub-wavelength time-domain microscope has been developed to observe terahertz light trapped in a cavity mediating attractive interactions in a tunable van der Waals material. This discovery, published in Nature, highlights potential advancements in quantum material manipulation.
- Scientists capture electrons forming strange patchy patterns inside quantum materials
Scientists have directly visualized charge density waves forming patchy patterns in quantum materials during phase transitions. Their study revealed that electronic order persists in pockets above the transition temperature, fading gradually rather than abruptly.
