Two recent developments suggest how familiar properties of gravity and matter may emerge from the quantum geometry that underlies loop quantum gravity. In everyday situations, and even in current ...

Scientists have recently been working toward making a special geometry that describes different quantum interactions. There ...

Our recent work in this area spans a diverse range of topics, including superoscillations (the physics and mathematics of functions varying faster than ... the top-left picture above), a levitating ...

Work reveals new ways to understand and manipulate electrons in materials. MIT physicists, in collaboration with colleagues, ...

That work, too, appeared in Nature Physics. In the current work, the team adapted ARPES to measure the quantum geometry of a kagome metal. Kang stresses that the new ability to measure the quantum ...

For the first time ever, scientists have managed to snap a picture of an electron’s shape while it moves through a solid.

For the first time, scientists have measured the shape of an electron in solids, opening the door to advances in quantum materials.

Recent research has explored various extensions and applications of noncommutative geometry to enhance our understanding of particle physics and to propose new models that could unify existing ...

Geometric optics is a confusing subject for many physics students, who often first encounter the subject in introductory college physics classes. Traditional instruction in geometric optics is not as ...

Rice University physicist Emilia Morosan is part of an international research collaboration that has been awarded multimillion-dollar funding from The Kavli Foundation to develop and test ...
