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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In large systems of interacting particles in quantum mechanics, an intriguing phenomenon often emerges: groups of particles begin to behave like single particles. Physicists refer to such groups of ...

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 ...

Slice of pi: the π-ton could arise from the coupling of two electron-hole pairs in materials such as samarium titanate. (Courtesy: iStock/Traffic-Analyzer) A new type of quasiparticle has been ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists have created a Bose-Einstein condensate out of excitons — quasiparticles that combine electrons and positively charged “holes” — in a semiconductor. Quasiparticle ...
