In a groundbreaking study published in Nature, a team of researchers has achieved a major milestone in the field of quantum simulation by observing the antiferromagnetic phase transition within a large-scale quantum simulator of the fermionic Hubbard model (FHM). This significant achievement marks a crucial step towards unraveling the mysteries of quantum magnetism and understanding
Time crystals have long been a subject of controversy and intrigue in the scientific community. The concept of an object that repeats itself not in space, but in time, challenges our understanding of the fundamental laws of physics. In 2012, Nobel Prize winner Frank Wilczek sparked the discussion about the existence of time crystals, leading
Understanding the concept of time reversal symmetry in quantum evolution is crucial for advancing quantum information and photonic technologies. A recent study published in Physical Review Letters by a research team led by academician Guo Guangcan, Prof. Li Chuanfeng, and Prof. Liu Biheng from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) sheds light
In the world of materials science, intense laser pulses have long been used to manipulate magnetization orientation in materials on incredibly short time scales. Traditionally, these effects have been thermally induced, where the absorbed laser energy rapidly heats up the material, causing a rapid perturbation of the magnetic order. However, a recent study by scientists
In a groundbreaking study conducted by researchers at Aalto University in Finland, a new method has been discovered to manipulate the movements of bacteria using magnets. The implications of this discovery go far beyond simply organizing the bacteria; it opens up a realm of possibilities for various scientific research areas such as complex materials, phase

Dark matter, the elusive substance that makes up approximately 80% of the matter in the universe, continues to perplex scientists. Despite its invisible nature, the effects of its gravity can be observed, leading researchers on a quest to directly detect and understand this enigmatic form of matter. Scientists from leading institutions such as Lancaster University,
Transport networks, such as river systems, play a crucial role in optimizing stability and resilience. These networks come in various forms, with tree-like structures being effective for transport, and networks containing loops being more damage-resistant. Understanding the conditions that favor the formation of loops in these networks is essential for improving our understanding of dynamic
When ultrafast electrons are deflected, they emit light called synchrotron radiation. This form of light is used in storage rings to force particles onto a closed path. While the current method yields longitudinally incoherent light with a broad spectrum of wavelengths, there is potential for a more efficient and powerful approach. In 2010, physicist Alexander
