Physicists exploring the quantum world watched the birth of a quasiparticle, shedding light on the strange behavior of these bizarre "fake particles." Quasiparticles have been an enigmatic entity in ...

Experimental study of the quantum coherent properties of quasiparticles represents a significant challenge over a broad range of disciplines, from investigating the propagation of quantum correlations ...

Researchers uncovered a crucial mechanism that reveals how electrons and atoms interact to create a new quasiparticle and change conductivity in rare earth material. (Nanowerk News) Electrons ...

Scientists have found the secret behind a property of solid materials known as ferroelectrics, showing that quasiparticles moving in wave-like patterns among vibrating atoms carry enough heat to turn ...

For the first time, scientists have found that a bizarre subatomic “quasiparticle,” called a skyrmion, that’s capable of reproducing itself in an unusual way. A skyrmion is considered a quasiparticle ...

A collection of particles known as a quasiparticle has been detected behaving as if it has mass when it moves in one ...

Dark matter is a hypothetical substance that outweighs regular matter – which makes stars, planets, and everything we can see and touch – by five to one. But we don’t know what it is. One hypothesis, ...

Physicists have created the first Bose-Einstein condensate — the mysterious ”‘fifth state” of matter — made from quasiparticles, entities that do not count as elementary particles but that can still ...

Quasiparticles die young, lasting far, far less than a second. Why? A new Monash University study finds a culprit beyond the usual suspect (decay into lower energy states). Identification of the new ...

A quasiparticle is a concept of a state or phenomena that occurs in many-body systems or solid-state materials — like when an electron moves through a solid and polarizes its environment, generating a ...

Liquid-like correlations: this plot shows the correlations between electrons and holes in a dropleton. Its structure resembles that expected of a droplet of fluid. (Courtesy: Brad Baxley) A new type ...
