When two-dimensional electron systems are subjected to magnetic fields at low temperatures, they can exhibit interesting ...

Axions, hypothetical subatomic particles that were first proposed by theoretical physicists in the late 1970s, remain among ...

Less than a decade ago, researchers found a peculiar phase of matter where the electrons of a particular compound would behave in two very distinct phases. Some had spins that were very well ...

Time crystals represent a new phase of matter proposed by Frank Wilczek, the Nobel laureate of Physics in 2004; they can ...

Researchers propose a new theory for the origin of dark matter, the invisible substance thought to give the universe its ...

My research interests are thermodynamics and statistical mechanics of condensed matter systems, phase transitions and critical phenomena, Ising model and other spin models, solid-liquid phase ...

Dark matter may have started as light-like particles that abruptly became heavy—a cosmic twist rooted in spin and ...

Michael Hermele is a theoretical physicist interested in quantum phases of matter, strongly correlated systems, and other aspects and areas of quantum many-body systems. His background is in condensed ...

Researchers have an explanation for how dark matter emerged - beginning with weightless particles and ending with massive ...

Professor Comin’s research explores the novel phases of matter that can be found in electronic solids with strong interactions, also known as quantum materials. In these systems, the interplay ...
