First glimpse of hydrodynamic electron flow in 3D materials
Electrons flow through most materials more like a gas than a fluid, meaning they don’t interact much with one another. It was long hypothesized... [mehr]
Unconventional order in a low-dimensional magnet
It is generally known that magnetic fluctuations in conventional magnets can be seen as a wave of deflection of the magnetic moments out of the... [mehr]
Enantiomorph distribution maps for metals and metallic alloys
Left- or right-handedness is a symmetry property that many macroscopic objects also exhibit and which is of immense importance, particularly for... [mehr]
Harmonious electronic structure leads to enhanced quantum materials
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids in Dresden, the University of South Florida in the USA, and co-workers have... [mehr]
Quantum Hall effect and the third dimension
The quantum Hall effect traditionally only plays a role in two-dimensional electron systems. Recently, however, a three-dimensional version of the... [mehr]
Claudia Felser appointed as new international member of the United States National Academy of Sciences
