Physicists call this strange state a quantum spin liquid, and for decades it has been one of the most elusive phases of ...

This behavior, known as the chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect, has baffled researchers for over two decades. It shows up in biological processes like photosynthesis and cellular ...

Quantum spin liquids are exotic states of matter in which spins (i.e., the intrinsic angular momentum of electrons) do not ...

In the study, a team of researchers describe what they believe to be the first measurement showing direct interaction between electrons spinning in a 2D material and photons coming from microwave ...

The Compton polarimeter’s laser system, used to measure electrons’ parallel spin, is aligned during the Calcium Radius Experiment in Hall A of the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility at the ...

Physicists at the University of Basel have experimentally demonstrated for the first time that there is a negative correlation between the two spins of an entangled pair of electrons from a ...

Electron spin resonance (ESR) is a key tool for the spectroscopic characterization of chemicals. It relies on resonantly changing the spin state of electrons (spin is an intrinsic quantum property of ...

In a Rashba-Dresselhaus spin transistor, the spin of electrons could be disrupted by spin-phonon coupling or non-ideal internal magnetic field distribution. Credit: Jian Shi As our devices become ...
