The Spin State Story: Observation of the Quantum Spin Liquid State in Novel Material

“New insight into the spin behavior in an exotic state of matter puts us closer to next-generation spintronic devices The quantum spin liquid (QSL) state is an exotic state of matter where the spin of electrons, which generally exhibits order …

The world’s lightest shielding material

“Empa researchers have succeeded in applying aerogels to microelectronics: Aerogels based on cellulose nanofibers can effectively shield electromagnetic radiation over a wide frequency range – and they are unrivalled in terms of weight. Electric motors and electronic devices generate electromagnetic fields …

Towards Lasers Powerful Enough to Investigate a New Kind of Physics

“In a paper that made the cover of the journal Applied Physics Letters, an international team of researchers has demonstrated an innovative technique for increasing the intensity of lasers. This approach, based on the compression of light pulses, would make …

A Metal-like Quantum Gas: A pathbreaking platform for quantum simulation

“Coherent and ultrafast laser excitation creates an exotic matter phase with spatially overlapping electronic wave-functions under nanometric control in an artificial micro-crystal of ultracold atoms. This exotic metal-like quantum gas under exquisite control and long-lived, decaying in nanoseconds, opens up …
